Aftermarket Cylinder head for 996?
Howdy all! 
So I have a 99 C5 vette (bear with me) and you can get performance cylinder heads galore for the LS1 even from the factory
So I've been looking around for the 996 lately and I cant find any N/A tune action. All I can find are turbo upgrades or supercharger conversions.
I've seen Porsches "Carrera Powerkit" that gets you a "considerable increase in power output" (25 HP) for a mere $12k installed.
I know the specific output of a 996 is much higher than an LS1 so it's not the best comparison, thereby making the return for the buck not quite as appreciable on a Porsche, but you'd still think somebody would make somethng. I mean the GT3 is normally aspirated with the same displacement so there's certainly room for cylinder head work.
Are there any aftermaket cam and head kits watercooled p-cars?
Thanks for the help!
