Wow, plenty of good feed back.
I have thought about the engine swap, the 996 engine is a lot of work and not cheep, but not a bad idear.
The S engine would be the simplest and cheeper way, but only 50hp, him maybe.
Bolt on supercharger kit, not a bad idear and will not realy shorten engine life.
My idear, who knows, lol. Should work fine and reliable and may just be more power than I want.
Oh, nitrious, thought of it. You don't want to use one of the cheep $500 kits as the do not have any safe guards. They have some realy neat stuff to make nitrious very safe these day's. I have a freind that is going to use one that ramps up 4 times I belive it is. That way you don't get a hard slam of power that is so hard on the engine(kinda like a supercharger just a steady build of power no slam). Also, a controler that retards timming a bit with each increse in nitrous, and a monitor that if a drop in fule presure is detected it will shut the flow of nitrious off and save the engine. He will also use a controler for minum rpm and max rpm that nitrous will be allowed.
No, he dose not have a Boxster, lol.
All, that neat stuff for nitrous sounds great but still can't bring my self to do that to my car.
An other car? Maybe.
Lots of options, most of witch I have all ready pondered. I will be takeing my time on this and doing some home work.
All most for got, the front end fealling light at high speeds, I don't think it is realy getting light. I think it is just the mid engine nature of the car. I could be wrong.
The 928 has the engine up front and the transaxle in the back. Those 2 large weights make the car very stable and less willing to chage direction. The boxster has all the weight in the mid area lending to a very responsive car that is quick to change direction even at high speed. That is what I had to get used to.
Stiffer shocks and springs maybe in order with a good power increase. Also, S brakes would not hurt. Though as good as the brakes are should not be necessary on less you get realy crazy.
The real concern is the wimpy clutch.
Though better pads and powerslot rotors will help.
All that, is just my opinion.
