Vince. I wish my man. Don't quote me on this, but I believe the only 993's that broke the 500hp barrier were the VIN CTR2 cars. Those had a completely different set up with custom intercoolers etc , etc.

RUF only offers one conversion for the 993 turbo, which is the turboR package. This is the one that was done to the car. Conservative RUF estimates are 500hp/500lbft, but everyone tells me it's closer to 520.

There are other tuners that can squeeze out more hp and big numbers can obviously be acheived with a 3.8 twin plug conversion, etc. but I figured my car will never be the fastest. Just wanted the reliability, pedigree of RUF and enough juice to at least run with some of the newer cars - zo6, 997tt, f430, gallardo, etc.
