I agree with Fast924s and Danno. The 944 engines are well developed at Porsche. Looking at the T-body and intake man., they are "about" maxed out . I have done some up grades an some other engines and am amazed at what leaves the factories of other companies. I guess that is one reason there are so many aftermarket parts for Fords and Chevys. You can deffenty get increases in perfomance by gasket matching and porting intakes and heads from these companies. I cann't believe how restictive they are! But take a 944 engine appart and it is apparent that thought and enginering went into their manufactoring. Like Danno said you can get gains but at a high cost on return. Stick to a few "Tried" and proven upgrades both in engine , brakes and suspension and you can tune your car to perform to your individual taste. One thing that hasn't been talked much about in this forum is the other factor in reaching max perfomance from you car. And thats driving skill. I think most of us could benefit from a few days in a driving class at the nearest race track. I know I'm going to be one of the first to sign up at the new road course coming to Utah this fall.
