The 3.6 big bore does impress me... Even with stock camshaft profiles (with altered lobe separation and open/ closing events)it is possible to build a much more usable RPM range with huge increases in torque and throttle response all while addressing the internal deficiencies of the OE engine.
Recently a client drove his Boxster to us (from Oregon to Ga) for an elective 3.2> 3.6 big bore enhancement.
On the way here he averaged 23 MPg, on the way home he averaged 30mpg. Our engine combination is that much more efficient even when his car made 42HP more at the rear wheels in the "after" evaluation than it did "before".
The best part is the only OE Porsche parts that were used we're chain rails and a gasket set.
The only guy that benefits from my engine is the one who will keep his car forever~
That said, the reasons why the same 3.6 big bore engine always makes more power in the 996 than in a Boxster are numerous and we thoroughly understand all of those elements. We can now make 300rwhp from our 3.2> 3.6 with stock exhaust, stock ecu and a stock intake along with all other stock externals. While everyone was busy bolting on performance I optimized the internals of these engines and continue to.
