...for the 996 (C2 or C4)

I'm thinking of having their 30bhp upgrade (ECU remap, plus complete exhaust system incl headers, cat etc.). Costs about £4k incl VAT.

I'm also consdiering their sports suspension kit.

Advice?

Sorry no experience, but is 4K really worth 30 php on a car that weighs over a ton? I'm sure you won't really notice the extra bhp, which with probably only come into effect high in the rev range?? Don't want to p**s on you fire but it seems a lot of money for such a small increase. Surely people like RUF an dtechart do are larger conversion for that sort of money?

Now the sports suspension IMO is a great choice - will transform the way the car feels. I've driven a C2 with it and it felt great compared to the 993TT handling wise.

UV has the kit on his 965 Turbo 2 and raves about it - dunno if anyone has a suitably kitted 996

I have the roock chip on my 964RS, but not sure you are talking massive gains (I have only ever known the car with it fitted so can't give before/after comparison, but output of my car is good (271bhp) but not amazing (some completely standard 964RSs will hit that figure)

930 motorsport offered me a 350bhp upgrade for 4.5k. They're bringing out a supercharger conversion soon too.

My 993RS has a Roock sportssytem fitted to it. Claims to increas power from the standard 300 to about 340 (cylinder heads were done by Roock as well). Was told that this cost about £10k. Not sure if I would have paid that myself but was on the car when I bought it.
