Head will be refurbished and maybe a new cam profile (nothing radical) I'm looking for good mid range torque and 310 bhp would make me happy.
Beautiful car. May I ask where you got those seats?

Thanks

Who cross shops a modified 993 with a 996 Turbo? If it's purely a money play, then proceed directly to: 1. C6 Z06 for production cars, 2. Sports Racers/Formula Cars for track duty.

Seems like the OP already knows what to do. Drop the car of at 9M and let them work their magic.

I was wondering about that as well, you came up with a couple of good alternatives.
