The Imagine Autosports website http://www.imagineauto.com/boxster%20sc.htm has this to say about the addition of their SC kit to a base 2.5 boxster engine:

"Real world results were completed on our in-house AWD Mustang Dyno. Base line results were apx 150RWHP increased to 230RWHP. That is a 38% gain by using your weekend to bolt on our supercharger kit."

I don't agree with their statement about a base 2.5 making 150whp. Mine made 169 before I added headers. Naturally, this drops their percentages a lot too.

I sure would like to see some dyno information from one of our 3.4 Boxster forum particpants to know what their true WHP (and torque) numbers are. Then we could do a true apples to apples comparison by dyno results.

Then, it would be good to tally up the total cost for each power upgrade path and find out how many dollars per WHP each costs. That would be very illuminating.

Some guys like me don't need the most HP money can buy. We just want more HP than we have, and we want enough to feel a sizeable difference in the butt dyno.
