What are the normal mod order of events for a 986? I have a 2002 boxster S. This will be a fun street car.

Unlike your Mazda of old, it's both difficult and expensive to squeeze more hp out of the boxster's normally aspirated engine. However, many of us have been successful with some of the following upgrades :
1. A comprehensive and methodical approach to revamping the exhaust system; i.e. headers, cats, cat back ect...
2. Light weight under drive pulley
3. Larger throttle body and plenum
4. ECU re-programming
5. Lighter wheels (a potentially faster and better performing vehicle by means of
reducing unsprung weight and rotational mass)
6. Reducing weight in general; i.e. spare tires, oem seats, lighter battery ect.. (this is
more aimed toward tracking your boxster .
7. Suspension upgrades (though not a direct increase in power, a faster vehicle can be
had by means of better handling and performance .
8. A divorce (reduction in weight by means of one less passenger)
and the list goes on ...........
