its running great - no cels , no issues. more power? no idea. i want to try the 996 tune for three reasons:

- curiosity,
- sems silly to me to reduce the intake diameter for the maf housing, only to increase it again once past the maf housing, and
- 911 3.4 makes 300 hp. using the same ratio of hp:displacement, the 3.2 should be making 280 hp. the 3.2 and 3.4 share cams and bottom end, so most of the power must be lost in tune, intake and exhaust (those in the know say the 3.2 heads flow quite well, so no work needed there). this thread and ohers talk about upgrading the 986 intake with 987, 996 and 997 parts, and there are good, inexpensive exhaust solutions out there, so the last piece is the tune. if it works then you have a 30 hp gain with mostly oem bolt-ons. and for not too much money ($300 chinese exhaust, $50 for 1/2 hour labour to push the tune, $300 intake parts).
