why has the Boxster less power than a 996?

So, hypothetically, if you were to swap out engines for a 996's, how would the other components of the Boxster hold up to the additional HP? Would the tranny, clutch, driveline, etc take the added strain?

I would say for the most part, Yes. There are alot of people on this board alone that have turbo'd or superchared their cars and the driveline stuff has held up.
