Wow, ever have one of those days where you respond to a post in your head, but don't type anything? I don't have any dyno charts handy on the Stage II + secondary cat bypass pipes, but next car i do them on, I will see if I can work a couple of dyno runs into the deal. I had some on our dyno computer for a previous car, but the computer took the "big" one, and we lost all of our dyno runs from the first 6 months we had the dyno. I'll see what i can come up with.

I agreed with MNBoxster, I get the most enjoyment with usable power on the street. I installed an EVo air intake several mths ago and I love the sound when I push the car above 4500rpm. However, I only enjoy it for a few seconds in the city since 2nd gear redlines at about 70mph.

I moved to an S about 6 months ago and I felt the difference throughout the range from my old car.

If there is a 35/37 increase in tq/hp with the mods as PorscheDoc stated, it'll be like moving from a regular Boxster to an S. Also, I think it'll sound awesome.

I figure it's about $3500 with all the mods installed. Worth it to do? Let's start a discussion.
