I just take this build as a good demo of some interesting tuning ideas that do work with our engines. A slightly higher than normal CR and lots of ignition advance are the things I would be interested in trying out on my engine.
His build does seem a little counter intuative to the natural nature of the 944's 8v engine. Its a bit like he has built a setup to suit a 16v engine and put it on an 8v. The 2.5 turbos mentioned have probably been designed with the natural charachteristics of an 8v engine in mind, which may actually result in a quicker car.
I would take a 9:1 CR and experiment with nice ignition advance but thats about it.
