Factors to include:

650-700RWHP
Around Town Drivability
190-200 Top Speed
"Normal" sounding - don't want the rough cam sound
11sec flat 1/4 mile time
Race Gas/Pump Gas programmable

I'm sure you'll get answers from far more knowledgable sources than myself, but as a 993TT owner, I've researched the tuning options available to me.

600+ can be done, but there's strong recommendations against it. It's always looked to me like the 996TT received a lot more attention from tuners, and seemed like the 996TT owners are a lot more "prone" to tune their cars aggressively.

Before the 993TT can be tuned beyond 420 or 430, it's in dire need of cooling upgrades.

If you want to see over 700hp 993's, talk to Todd Knighton at Protomotive, he has built several of these cars.

650-700 is pretty easy to do on these motors. Typically I start with a 993 NA or TT motor as a base for our Monster transplants. Good strong planrs with the right mods. The most we made was over 800. Not very drivable though

Actually if low 11s and a street rod is the choice I recommend buying a NA 993 and pulling the motor. Build or transplant a 993TT motor in it and bring the HP up. Change cams, 3.8, custom cams, 6 angle cut on the heads, bring up the compression. balance and coat the works, L/W custom Clutch, shafts, remapped ECU or Motec system, twin plug, turbos exhaust and you are set. Why do this over a 993TT, because the cars are heavier, the 993TT tranny Sucks. 2 friction plates with a spacer rather than 4, weak input shaft and will twist with one launch out of the hole. I know I bent three of mine. The weight savings in the NA car is substantial and the cost is a whole heck of a lot less. Do some big Brembos, PSS9s or something equivalent, adjustable bars and you have the ultimate street/track car. Want the TT look, zuz fasten flairs on like the GTII and change the nose and the tail.
