Need more power!! is it possible ? ( 911 -79)

Is it possible to get more horsepower on my Porsche 911 SC 1979 ? It is normally 200 HK in this car.
If possible, how much must we pay for this ?

Porsche lover

How much power do you want? Do you want power across the RPM range or can you live with peaky power near the top of the throttle band? What is your budget?

Cheaply, you can backdate the exhaust by using 74 style stainless steel style heat exchangers and dual outlet muffler. If you have smog inspection in the area you live, you will not be able to pass a visual inspection though.

Another upgrade would be to use 964 cams. These will work well with the CIS fuel injection.....further upgrades would be to Weber carbs.....

Being that the car was originally from Germany it probably already has a good exhaust system. With the good exhaust there aren't any cheap ways of getting more power from this engine. The next step would probably be putting on Weber or PMO carbs and a good set of cams. Bruce Andersons book The Porsche 911 Handbook is a must read to find out what to do on it. Unfortunately it is more focused on the US spec engines.
