Randall, in general, I am not in favor of mods. That's why I think it's worth paying the difference in price between the base and the S. I'd rather let Porsche engineers do the 'mods' optimized with the car as whole, test the design, and be prepared to stand behind it with a 4yr warranty. I don't know enough about cars to predict the long term effects of a mod to a car. I do know that those effects exist and are most rigorously researched at the factory -- then they are taken into consideration as parameters into the optimization process. Of course, there are people who know much more than me and are comfortable estimating those risks and taking them in return for increased performance.
So short answer to your question, yes, I do have the same opinion about that mod, but take my opinion for what it's worth, as my motivation comes from not knowing what I don't know.
