Have Power Options Changed?

I've owned by Boxster for about 6 years now and am moving to HPDE 3 in October which is really going to require more power, so its time to revisit every Boxster owner's favorite question; How do I get more power? I've been on this forum for years and have read all the options however I imagine the options have changed a bit. It looks like Boxster S motors have dropped to around $4,000, 2.7L are around 2.5K. The LS swap is getting closer and closer to a bolt in option. They're superchargers being developed, there area slew of bolt ons available now. 911 motors still seem a bit absurd. Has anyone gone down this road lately? I'm leaning toward picking up an S motor and transmission, however if I can reach S power with my 2.5 with bolt-ons I'd consider that route as well. So far I have headers, exhaust, and a cat delete so completing the bolt on package might be worth it.

Hopefully everyone has patience for this topic that has been covered at length.
