Can you say what the expected HP will be from this engine?
At this point in time no I can't. Jake did tell me what he expects but the sample size is only four engines so until we run it on the dyno it's just an educated guess. While the HP number will be fairly high this motor is more about good torque from idle to redline. No flat spots just pull like a freight train. It will rev freely yet be docile enough to drive around town and will get better fuel mileage than stock. Jake will see this post I'm sure and if he wants to chime in he will.

btw, you might want to look into getting the front bumper clear wrapped and ask that they wrap under the bottom edge. This will keep the paint along the bottom edges from chipping. The area directly in front of the wheels is the worst part. All it takes is one steep driveway to dig into that bumper.
Also, the wrap keeps the flying gravel on the highway making the bumper look pop-marked.

Ok, well can you answer this? Will the air intake system and exhaust be changed?

Yes. The exhaust has already been upgraded on the 3.2 with aftermarket headers/high flow front cats, rear delete pipes and currently a Dansk banana muffler. I recently have picked up a GHL twin can muffler. We'll use whatever sounds the best and makes the most power. Intake will have several aftermarket bits.

When I purchased the rocker covers off the local CL ad I forgot to ask the guy who the manufacturer was. I was just doing some surfing and came across this website these sure look like the ones I bought. Price per the website is $476.00 I paid $50.00 !!! And per the manufacturers description it continues my 986 GT3 theme !

Today the 986S GT3 ( haha ) took another step forward. Kind of a funny story how this latest item unfolded. About 8 months ago a local guy was parting out a Boxster that had been hit. One of the items he was selling was a less than one year old aftermarket top on the frame with a glass rear window. I picked it up for $400.00 . It has been sitting in the garage as I summoned the courage to do the swap . When I recently picked up my car from the body shop after the rocker/diffuser install I was talking to the owner of the shop about doing the swap. He said sure anytime you want just let me know. As it turns out he was selling his 99 Boxster, the other day when it was a little chilly here he dropped the top and crack went the rear window ! So he has the car for sale, people showing up to look at the car and a split rear window. I get a text from him saying he will swap out my top for the glass window top for NO CHARGE if he can have my vinyl window top to put on his car. Sure no problem ! And I got his old top/frame as a spare for no charge so a totally free deal. Picked her up today and here are some crappy cellphone pics it was starting to rain. The top needs to be cleaned up but it looks great !

Can't beat that deal . And yes I truly think your car is the 986 GT3. It is probably faster and better handling than anything besides a turbo or GT3 of the same era.
