I have a 1982 Porsche 928. It is an 8cyl. Automatic. The automatic is a 3 speed, you can stay in 1st up to 65mph and 2ed up to 95mph. It has a nice top speed, but we want it to be able to get off the line faster. We are replacing the spark plugs with bosche platinum 4. And are buying new "Hot wire" sparkplug wires for it. We are going to do a full tune up, all fluids, filters, and I am having the transmission rebuilt. We where thinking about putting headers and dual exaust on it. Any suggestions on other things or with the things we are planning on doing? It has aprx 300HP right now but am hoping to get something like 500HP+ once we are done with it.

Do not bother with those four-pointed spark plugs or the Hotwires - neither one really works all that well.
If you want 200 more horsepower, you're looking at some pretty major work. The best bet might be to install a supercharger kit on there. Here's where you can buy one:

BTW, platinum plugs often do not seem to hold up well in supercharged engines - even if you haven't gone with gimic ones.
If you do not want a supercharger, I strongly suggest finding a Porsche engine guru and taking the car straight to him. Let him know what your goals are and have him pick the parts. The engine is going to need a total rebuild. Trying to get nearly double the horsepower out of a Porsche without a supercharger is very difficult, and hiring an expert can save you a lot of money spent on wrong parts.

Supercharger, rebuild the motor with high end aftermarket parts, cold air intake, N.O.S., take off extra unneeded weight, get better gas octane booster, bigger better carb or get better fuel injection,

cold air intake, induction, Built Engine, a higher stall torque will help get off the line but dont get it too high or it wont work right. turbo, super charger, Blower, too many too list.

Buy another horse and get the other one off the porch. You would have 2.
