350whp... Enough.... Hardly but to each their own.

So your current 250 hp has been enough for ?? 14 years? To each their own HA HA.

As you know I've been following your thread from the start.
WT#! You mean you're not going to give us a KIT?
I'm a Network Engineer - Business Development guy. My fabrication skills are non existent. Have no trouble changing oil, spending a weekend updating suspension parts but that's it. I spend my free time driving my car, golfing, flyfishing in spring/summer and shooting ducks/pheasants in the fall.

Also wanted to chime in about the price/platform... First off starting with a base boxster is just dumb. dumb dumb dumb. The S suspension and brakes do OK "

bc993:
Have to disagree with you. The only thing the S brings now is the 6-Speed trans.
On a 15 yr old car I'm going to replace the suspension 1st thing.
ROW MO30 or PSS9
Front Brakes can be bolted on: 996 or S Calipers (no need for rear imho) just need to update front rotors.
Also GT3 control arms

Now the only other issue for base vs S is the radiators. So I would do exactly the same thing you did and replace 15 yr old radiator with S radiators.

I have found some almost perfect base boxsters with like new interiors and near perfect original paint and it would cost me much more to find an S in that type of condition.
