Upgrading/increasing HP - Any recommendations ?

[JK McDonald]

Well, just made it back to Texas from a 16 day 2k mile loop through Tenn, North Carolina and Georgia without a hic-up. Although my overall mpg was around 18 - 21 mpg (A/C usually on), there were times when coming off the top of some of those Smokey Mt grades that I'm sure Miss Purdy was getting well over 100 mpg with the brakes applied. I don't know what it takes for the Hwy Patrol to pull anyone over anymore because most of the time the herd I was traveling amongst stayed around the 85 mph mark.

One thing for sure - even with only the std HP our 928's can easily keep up on the highway with any Vette in the crowd. In fact Miss Purdy did so well on the return trip - that I may have to change her name to "Long Legs La Rue"......

OK, I will reveal my "speed secret for 1986 928S" because I'' probably never be competing in the PCA Stock 928 Class. You removed the cat already, correct? Hook the smog pump line up to the air box. It made the difference of a prepared 911 walking away from me or me walking away from the 911. You owe me $20.
Headers and a "cheater cam grind" only made my 1981 928 slower. It hit 140+ down the backstraight at Charlotte when I debuted at PCA HPDE stone stock.

I almost have my 81 back on the road after quite a lot of fixes, replacements and electrical issues.

When I sell mine I will look you up and see what you got for sale.

Love the 928 and would rather have one that has been gone through already.
