I'm not really so interested in 0-60 times. What's .3's of second to a non-competitive motorist?
I drove my 2000S behind a 987S recently on the highway and the extra 30 HP is just enough to seem noticeable. He was pulling away quickly. Definitely a huge AUDIO difference. I could hear the other guys car more than the engine sitting directly behind me!

On paper it makes sense, another 22 HP from purely intake and exhaust mods. But there's more to it. The engine internals have also been upgraded, which allow the aiflow changes to be bigger.
