300bhp or 320bhp

[alastairw]

My 996 3.4 ltr was registered in Sept 1999 - how can I tell if its the 300bhp or 320bhp model?

All 3.4 liter cars are 300 HP (non X51 cars from the factory). 3.6 liter cars are 320 HP (non X51 cars from the factory).

Add roughly plus 20 HP for any X51 car.

Thought the 1999 3.4 were 296 HP and the 2000 and 2001 were 300HP excluding X51???

Interesting... the reason I ask is I am looking for an ECU remap and all the companies based in the UK quote 3.4ltr cars and either 300 or 320bhp. Take a look at the attached..
