Help me soup up my boxster

[Jake Raby]

The key is increasing USABLE power and enhancing throttle response for great performance on the road course and street. Many times we have won races with lesser HP figures with increased torque and throttle response through the most critical portion of the rev range. This gets the car off the corners and onto the straights faster and on the street it REALLY increases the fun factor.

Thats what I am most pleased about with my current 2.5 development by far. The snap this combo has is unreal and the engine pulls to redline so fast that it can't be shifted fast enough... Tomorrow I am turning up the revs to 7,400 :-)

As for the exhaust note.... well our Clients are much more concerned with that than I am.. in fact I generally have to ask my employees and others about their thoughts on sound because it generally doesn't impact me that much.. Sound doesn't increase or efficiency or numbers, so it doesn't do much for me at all. :-)

The past two days on my 83 mile commute I averaged 34 MPG in the test car in the current state of tune... everything follows efficiency!

Thanks alot guys, you gave me alot of helpful information!! Now I did meen to ask this...What is this about 996 parts fitting the 986?? What exactly can you swap and why havn't people done this before? If I am able to do an engine swap is it just a 2.9 that I can fit? 300hp sounds great for me, I know now i'll never get a 10 second car but a 300hp is plenty fast for me. Now about super chargers and turbo chargers, that was what I really wanted to do. I e-mailed TPC and they said they don't offer a super charger OR a turbo charger for the 98 2.5. So is there a way I can make my own?? What all is involved in making one and installing it and is it something that my dad and myself can do our selves?
For enhancing the throttle responce what would you suggest I change or modify?
I'de like to ask all of you questions because each of you seem to have knowledge in your own way but it's hard to keep track of all your posts lol.

The best way to make around 300 hp is to drop in a 3.4L from a 996 or have Raby bore and stroke your 2.5L and do a total rebuild.
