Just my opinions, I'm sure I will get crap about it, but Porsche engineers their car's to the maximum potential, if there was more power to be taken from an N/A 944 engine, they would have done that stock.

I think that's a very fair statement. If you never shift above 4k, it's not worth it. For tracking, DE and autocross, it looks like relatively inexpensive HP.
