Save your money for tires. A 986 usually runs best (and turns the fastest lap times) when you leave the motor alone. Driver training, tires, suspension, and weight reduction all result in greater performance/dollar than engine mods by a longshot. Another forum member recently shaved 8sec. off his best time with a 2 day driver training course. Adding 100hp would only shave 1-2 sec. on most tracks.

Porsche already gave you all the tools you need. Save motor mods for your Ford/Chevy/Honda /Mitsu. where HP is cheap and easy to add.
