I love my 993 C4S, it is a real piece of classic and love everything from the way it handles to the clunk noise from closing the door. However, I am thirsty for horsepower.. I also have a 996 TT that runs~ 600 whp and I am having considering if dropping a 993TT engine would quench my thirst for more horsepower.
What do you think? Should I do it? If not, what do you suggest I can do to make more torque and hp?

I'll bet that you decide that the car is plenty fast as is.

My C4 cab has a euro tranny, 200 cell cats and an Andial 2 deg timing block and there is still no comparison to my 993 Turbo, especially a tuned one.
If you are looking for the acceleration rush of turbo, sell or trade in your car.

Here's a less expensive approach: I don't know at what level your driving skills happen to be, but no matter what they are, we can always be better. Unless you're already there, why not invest the $ in yourself by attending a very good driving or race school? Then you can drive all your vehicles to their limit (which is far more satisfying to me than simply giving a car more power).

And back to the topic.... I do sometimes wish these motors had more torque and hp. I'd like more low end grunt.
A few weeks ago I went up to the top of Corral Canyon (great view of the Pacific) and wished I had a bit more punch. The roads are great with some sweeps and tight turns but steep until you hit the top (and then the road ends.) It would have been nice to have more pull coming up out of the corners, imho. Those are the times when I think of a 997, etc..
