You won't get much HP increase with exhaust and IPD/TB total cost estimated $2,000+ maybe 20 - 25 HP

There is no replacement for Displacement!


Thanks for searching!

Cubic dollars can sometimes replace more displacement! Of course cubic dollars plus more displacement is always the best!

Yeah, what he said!

I imagine a custom cam grind, some porting (particularly on the exhaust side) larger valves, bigger injectors, more air, hotter spark, higher rev-limit (from balancing and gusseting) would net you some hp.

Is that what you're thinking? Lots of $$ ?

MUCH easier (and cheaper) to dump a 3.4 from a 996 on it.

I was perusing the FVD site they have a set of cams with a different grind for a mere $2200 ish dollars.

Yeah I just realized this thread was started a couple month's after I got home from Jake Raby's 1st M96 engine rebuild class where I learned the best way to add displacement resulting in greater torque throughout the rev range!_HDR1613347734.jpg[/img]
