Top 5 mods to add HP

[mikefocke]

What do you want the car to do?

The car easily drives 200 klicks/125 MPH. It handles like a dream. It is a better car than this driver (been doing it for 55 years and have track experience).

Now as to what you can do to make it go faster ... there is a summary here. Just bring euros.

Yes, your list is good and hopefully prevents folks from wasting their money.

There is no substitute for HP and displacement however the base 986 driveshafts, brakes and transmissions can not handle 400+ HP without something breaking so you have to start with the more robust S model to begin with.

I read that the GM LT-3 engine can get you to about 425 HP, weighs about the same as a stock engine but protrudes into the cabin causing you to lose ~1" of space behind your seats and a modified engine cover.

The LT-3 option will cost about $8K in adapter parts plus the cost of an LT-3 engine.

It just doesnt seem worth it unless your a racer or speed junkie.

Just get the S and enjoy.
