hi all,

we all know that RUF will be offering a supercharger for 3.4L and 3.6L 996 cars.

but when?

www.ruf-automobile.de states nothing at all......

 

not sure about the details, but I bet it'll be a pretty penny

 

I spoke to ruf last week it will cost a little over 20,000 dollars and the will give a two year warrenty on the whole motor.

 

any specs on the kit?
estimated perfomance figures?

 

It's available now. Do a search.... it's all been covered before.

 

I think they quote something like 400 hp on the 3.4, but they do alot of internal mods to the motor as well, to make it super reliable. That's how they warranty it for two years. Probably the best overall sc setup out there right now. I was always a little worried about longevity with evo/tpc basically slapping a blower onto a stock long block. JMO

 

Here's the text of an official announcement from RUF about the SC:
