FabSpeed produce some of the nicest aftermarket equipment around. Fantastic engineering and amazing production quality.

However, I too, find it hard to believe that Porsche left 100 "easy" HP out of the factory motor. Detuned by 40 or 50 HP? Sure. Its a common fact that getting rid of restrictive OE emission control equipment can make power. Also makes perfect sense that a good tuner can squeeze a few more HP out of a motor by only assuming 93 (or higher, in the case of race chips) octane fuel, and not being held liable for certifiying the car OBD-II and emission compliant for 100k. Either way, an extra 100HP sounds far too good to be true.
