Besides that little bit of machine work to help it breathe I am going with 964 cams and stronger valve springs. The P&C were in perfect shape so just new rings. The rod bolts and head studs are are changed to Raceware.

When I drive it I usually hit red line on a regular basis.

At the autocross I have hit the rev limit more than a few times. I have a Steve Wong chip but I have not used it in years. It would cause my engine to surge at a steady 50 MPH and it never did work as a package. I suspect that was because of some minor intake leaks. The factory chip is more forgiving.

I will go back to the Steve Wong chip and after thing are all broken in run it at the dyno. Send Steve the report and have him tweak the map. I will be happy if I can get to 220 HP.

I would prefer 1,000 HP and 100 MPG but I don't think that is a realistic goal.
