Another issue with my wanting to upgrade the motor instead of selling it for a 987S or a 911 is this: I would like to own and drive an old sleeper.

Can you imagine the look on some Carrera driving lawyer or doctor's face at a red light when I leave him in the dust? Or when I overtake much faster Pcar at a DE?

Then there's the whole baffle-your-buddy scenario when you take a new friend out in your car because early on he told you that he thinks Boxsters are the poor man's porsche for secretaries... without knowing I own a highly modded Boxster.

This is indeed a long-term hobby with benefits!

jfro, I'll be interested in the result, is the durametric tool something that works with your laptop or a true hand held? I am in agreement with both you guys, I'd like a sleeper too. It just seems to me that I could find a suitable mechanic to make many of the same mods using the techniques and parts available to all for less than 18k.

In a perfect world, I'd pull the engine and do all the work myself, with enough time and money anything can be fixed.
