The 2.7 is the same, it is a well tuned package from the factory, just like all the cars, but with real effort it can be done.. It took me 4 solid days but I added 10HP to a 2001 Boxster S and a ton of throttle response and from what I have seen the 2.5 and 2.7 cars have MUCH more left in them from the factory than the 3.2L.

Jake, in your opinion is a "rolling tune" provided by a laptop with the proper software plugged into the OBD II port the best way to go? Also, I'm surprised you think the 3.2L has less potential than the 2.7/2.5L engines. The factory got 280 hp out of the 3.2L before they retired it and it had to meet sound/emmisions standards. To me it seems like the early 3.2L's left more hp on the table?
