I dont know about quantity but it seems like you need an exhaust and inlet, meaning like 2 grand for cams. Thats not including installation. Im pretty sure the ONLY cost effective reason to buy cams would be you already had an open engine or you did it all yourself. Go with a 3.4 swap... much easier and more bang for the buck (albeit more costly)

CLB, you're really asking for advice on something that likely NONE of us have ever done, nor heard of being done on an engine in a Boxster. IMHO, two grand for the parts, plus likely at least one grand for the labor of pulling the engine... and you'll likely only get marginal gains.

If you want more power, you might look into a supercharger kit. Seriously. You'll get more bang for your buck, and there are supercharger kits that you can install yourself in a day.
