Maximum HP for a C4S

HI
Long time lurker, rarely post here (lots to learn).
Does anyone know what is the maximum HP (at the wheels) mod
done to a 996 C4S.

I just thought some people might not necessarily want to get TT, but
the C4S to the MAX HP, EDIT: without decreasing motor life more than
10 to 20%"

The more power your motor puts out the less reliable your vehicle becomes.
There's really no correct answer to your question.

Ok I will correct the question to " .. max HP without decreasing motor life more than
10 to 20%"

In other words, I would not want to blow the engine in 3 years, due to the mod.

Either way, do you know who in here has the higher HP in a C4S?

PS
It's just that some 996 TTs are getting slightly over 1000 bhp.
How close could a C4s realistically come?

I would guess around 750 hp could be done ... just a guess.

i dont think the 996 3.6L will put out more than 355 HP with Bolt-On's... and there is no way your going to get past 400HP with the Charger...

Hey Zookie
I don't want to sell it and buy a TT, and I am just curious if anyone has ever attempted to
go on high horsepower on a C4S

The most power you can get is with the SC. Do a search and you'll find your answers.

if you're lookng for more power, you bought the wrong kind of engine. n/a is never good for power mods.

Try putting in a big bore kit to 3.8L, X51 cams, custom SC and find someone to write the programming... But, you'd spend way more than just getting the tt and an off the shelf chip...

Interesting. I would love to know if anyone has done that.

I always search. If you find a link with more than 650 HP on a C4S let me know.
