worst hp per dollar??? have you ever tried to pump anything up? there are diminishing returns with power increase items. carol shelby used to call it "cubic dollars". the industry standard on any supercharger is 30%. that's huge. perhaps you misread it as 35hp and not 35%. on a standard 944S, it would go from 190hp and 170 lb/ft to over 250 hp and 230 lb/ft.
as for power comparisons, that puts it square in 968 engine territory.
as for cost, that is about the same as buying a used 968 engine and all that is needed to get it in there.
a ported head, headers, cams and all the stuff you could possibly bolt on won't give you half that increase, and won't run all that well. i could generate a lot more power, but at the expense of civility, and i won't do that. when i do a kit, it's transparent in operation. this amount would be straight bolt on daily driver reliable power.
a 951 swap could make more power, but there is a whole lot more involved, and in the end at a higher cost.
not sure what else you could do that would even get close in power upgrade for anywhere near that kind of money, with the same kind of results.
but as i said, most people would not do this kind of thing anyway. most 944 owners just don't have the money. so, they do stuff a little at a time, as they can afford it, and ultimately end up spending that much anyway, but not getting the power and drivability they wanted, or they sell the car and move on.
i wasn't trying to sell the idea. not sure i have the time anyway. but, rather i was saying that i would have probably done this a long time ago, if things were different.
