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.
