Thanks everyone! I'm pretty happy overall and would highly recommend the setup!

I think if set up properly for track use a V8 Boxster would be the bees knees! The car handles very well with the new motor and I'm sure a bit of track specific modification would go a long way. We work on quite a few 914's at my shop and have to say the Boxster is light years ahead of the 914 in stock form. Once you modify the crap out of anything it will work well, but the Boxster S works very well out of the box and keeps getting better the more you do to it!
Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions!

I tell you what, bang for the buck you just can't go wrong! I was able to use our dealer account at Tire Rack and got an even better deal then they list. My boss ordered some tires to so we qualified for freight shipping. Total for the wheels and tires shipped was under $1500~ Even at full retail these are a steal, anyone can get a set from Tire Rack delivered for about $1700 with tires mounted, balanced etc.

Are you still going to Clayton?
You ought to drive up to Road Atlanta at the end of the month to show your car at the Chin DE. I bet there will be some folks attending that will be very interested in your car.
I'm planing to go up Saturday to see my buddy run his 700 HP LS powered 914 - it is a crazy build - one of those spare no cost builds.

Yessir, I'm signed up for Saturday only though and unless something very special happens probably won't be there Sunday.
I was thinking about going up to the Mitty this weekend but hadn't planned on anything else at this point. I've gotten myself pretty busy lately so I'm just trying to make sure everything is done on my car so I can go fast safely and time is running out. I am still trying to get the car tuned before I go out there too. I'm sure your buddy's 914 is a hoot

Thanks man, it is awesome
As soon as I get a few other things done I'm probably going to build another exhaust which will help to quiet it down a bit, but make it loud again at the flip of a switch
Just takes time and money!
