The sad part is most of these tunes reduce throttle response and torque as their tuners only look for peak HP gains, for advertisement.

We very seldom, if ever find any gains from any of this stuff on our engines, even the Stage I and most Stage II. In fact until we build one of our3.2 based 3.8L engines I don't even consider using any of these goods.

95% of what we build leaves here with stock intake, stock exhaust and a minimum of 40HP more output than stock, with even more torque, more throttle response with a broader power band.

Pretty much unless a car arrives with these "tuned" items, we don't use them. We don't need them and true development and application has proven this.

The words "Porsche" and "Cheap" or "Reasonable" never seem to appear together very often. One of the options to have on a 993 are "Sport Seats" which have hardbacks, they command $5k to $10k a pair here, a well known vendor in Europe has some new OEM's for sale, only $20k:

Factory Sport Seats - Carnewal

If you want "Cheap" power, buy anything with a GM LS motor in it.
