Thanks Steve Wong!!
 
I recently sold my 87' Carrera to a dealer, removing the Steve Wong Chip and Euro style premuffler prior to delivery (both have been sold to fellow Pelicans). On the drive down, I noted that the engine had become flabby and unresponsive below 4000 rpm and in general didn't really want to rev at all. It felt like it just lost about 50 hp, even though the real loss was more like 15. But who knows, I may have been just imagining the loss of this improvement, right Loren? ;)

My advice; Get the SW chip and Euro premuffler, it's by far the best improvment you can make to your Carrera!

Thanks for the tip. I think my car has an Autothority chip. I swapped out a dual-out exhaust for a stock one (I love the traditional Porsche sound) and now my car doesn't have that extra oomph at the high end that it had before. A euro pre-muffler is my next performance purchase.

SW / Euro Premuffler / Dansk dual-out worked great for me on my '84. :)

There's a good reason it had low mileage..I never drove it!! Too many other current obligations and it just didn't fit my current lifestyle. Too nice for DE's or throwing the yellow lab in back. I live only 2 miles from work, so it would not have been used as a daily driver. It would have been great for showing at concours but I'm not into that. Next time I'll get something with a bit more mileage and less of a show car look.
