Anyone know where I can get "cams"
I am looking to upgrade my cams and can not find a place that carries them for a 1997 boxster. If anyone has places or links for this part please let me know.

Don't think I've heard of any aftermarket cams for any of these engines.

You sure you want to do something like that? What other mods have you done?

it was actually suggested by mnboxster and I have nothing else done to my boxster to the engine but I once had a 1998 jetta and did cams and it made a big difference.

Never seen aftermarket performance cams for the Box.

With as much of a PITA as it would be to change the cams in a Boxster engine... it's probably not worth the return on investment.

An engine swap would be a better idea.
