but i TOTALLY agree about a DE being better at improving things more than anything else


Again B/S.... The stock Porsche Airbox is good cold air intake. Most aftermarket system rob hp. I have been looking NA hp for 8 years and always seen the same thing.

Now I have see guys removed old stock cats with a test pipe and get 10 hp peak. That is about it for NA "power adders".

A good stock 944 NA motor will put out 130-135 whp with a test pipe. That is for a fresh rebuild.
