Very helpful, thank you. Now with the 986S 6spd... i know it is a huge undertaking for the conversion, but what would need to be upgraded for the increased power output? I know it will hold up to the 300hp 3.6, but Im building the engine specificaly to turbo or sc it with moderate boost (depending on the setup, 12-20psi) Which will throw the engine into the 450-700hp range, meaning can the 986S 6spd handle that kind of hp and lbs?

I dont know if anyone ever figured out the max the 6spd was good for untill needing to be modified.

Thanks.
