I'll definately second that!

Nite and day difference. I figure most Porshe drivers are not driving the car anywhere near what its capable of until someone shows them, and teaches them how. Its a pitty.

Also adding the underdrive pully is the cheapest 10 hp you could gain for under $200.

Remove the 2nd cats if your car has them, will quicken the throttle response and make you quicker for about $150.

The HPDE will certainly make you quicker (and really enjoy the car)
But it's a slippery slope that you may never recover from :-)

UDP is good.

Lighten the car.

If you learn to seriously drive it
You'll need to add a rollbar extender, and a sump extension with improved baffle system.

You'll learn anyone can drive fast while going straight.
Nothing like a 4 wheel drift accelerating past 80mph in a 90 degree turn :-)
