   Carl,
   In  the aftermarket, there is almost no limit ot the crazy impractical
   things available or for sale.
   Porsche  themselves  have  not  offered  a  supercharger  to  any  911
   derivative and for good reason.
   They  know that superchargers are a waste of engergy at any other time
   than full boost.
   Porsche has always employed turbo chargers, which offer a much greater
   efficiency than
   mechanical superchargers, and better mileage all things the same.
   If  you  want to talk serious power in the aftermarket, I have a buddy
   that has a business supplying
   high performance parts for the VW/AUDI/Porsche market.
   He has a Audi 4wd with a 2.3 liter 5 cyl engine.  This engine produces
   over 1000 crank horsepower,
   over  800  wheel  horsepower to 4 wheels.  Thats over 400hp/liter, but
   then again thats with a seriously
   large turbo.
