I was comparing crank hp to crank hp. Lets talk wheel hp to wheel hp to make it more clear. A stock 2.5L makes about 170 hp at the wheels. A bolt on S/C will give the 2.5L engine about a 50 hp gain which would come to around 220 hp at the wheels....which is what a stock early model boxster S puts down to the ground. Even the smaller 3.4L 996 engine puts down around 255 hp to the ground. Bottom line is the 996 engine has more power. If you have some dyno sheets of a s/c 2.5L or if you have a link that says otherwise I'd like to check it out.
