Forced induction is the secret catalyst behind the power gains which this 3.6 liter Carrera 997 picks up after being equipped with VF Engineering's VF475 kit.
For 997 Carrera and Carrera S owners who want more power without trading their car in for a Turbo the only real answer to get a big boost is forced induction. VF-Engineering has had 997 supercharger kits out for a while now and here is a nice dyno overlay of a stock 997 Carrera and a VF-Engineering VF475 supercharged 997 Carrera.
In stock form the car puts down a respectable 321 rear wheel horsepower. Supercharged with Vortech centrifugal unit, this goes to 441 at the wheels with full exhaust and headers. A 997.1 Turbo running on a dynojet only to the rear wheels puts down about 457 rear wheel horsepower stock. So, the supercharger on a base 997 Carrera 3.6 liter flat-6 just about brings the car to 911 Turbo power levels. Keep in mind the 997 Turbo wheel horsepower will drop when delivering power to all four wheels versus just the rears on the dyno.
Very nice results and a nice power gain.
