Every hp above what you get with a stock Euro motor gets more expensive and less reliable or predictable, and more difficult to transfer to the pavement. Why am I doing this should be the first question.

your hp figures are a little light......
John's is already over 500 rwhp, Louie Ott is over 500 NA, several of the SC cars are over 500, etc......
yes, some of the 944 work could be transferred to the 16V 928, but as to a direct correlation, this may be a stretch.
