or should I say limited only by your bank account.

If you haven't already read this it summarizes everything I've been able to learn about making a Boxster engine more powerful. The caution is that you shouldn't expect big results for little mods, you should read every claim with a great deal of skepticism, and you should plan a route that makes sense long term...doing things in an order that builds benefit on benefit and only finally chipping...for example.

There are those who think the driver's skill is the limiting factor and that should be improved through driver's schools as the first item tackled. After all, even the least powerful Boxster engine at 201HP is so much more powerful than a stock Miata, a base Solstice, a 914, a 356, a 912, a TR6, an MR6, etc.
