This last year I purchased a 2000 Boxster 2.7, 5 speed, 18k miles. It has been well taken care of and is in excellent condition. The only modification was a Tri-Flo exhaust which makes it sound great. I love the car but feel that it could use a little more juice. I know that sqeezing hp out of these engines isn't cheap, and I'm prepared for that. I was hoping that someone could direct me to someone in the Detroit area that could go over some options with me. I am open to turbocharging or supercharging, or just having the engine bored and stroked. I have been told that ECU programming doesn't do much for naturally aspirated cars, but I'd be willing to discuss that with someone as well.

While I know that mods are expensive, I called a local Porsche dealer and they told me that the last time they supercharged a Boxster the bill came to $17k. Seems kind of steep to me. I am hoping his memory is slipping.
