What about a lightened flywheel?
I did that on two priors cars I owned when they had clutch work - one was a mazda RX7, the other a miata.
on each car - it made the car much more responsive and quicker. you reduce the weight of the flywheel, requireing less inertia to spin it. i believe it's the same logic that makes an underdrive pulley make power - there is less drag on the mtoor - less power is drawn to spin the flywheel - so more of it gets to the ground. it doesn't "create" horespower, it just frees up some that is already there being wasted.
my cars felt quicker shifting, and also felt to run through the rpms faster. overall it made m y rx8 and miata feel noticeably more responsive and faster.
no idea if people would recommend it on the boxster - or how much it costs - but i would certainly look into it. i plan to when i do my clutch.
i have 75k on the original clutch!
