I was already thinking about a new exaust system, new headers, new cat conveter, cold air system, and maybe a power chip. I want to make my car around 10-11 second 1/4 mile. So please help me out. Also im wondering, what can the 986 share with the996?

Welcome to the forum.

10-11 second quarter is really fast, and the mods you have listed aren't going to get you there. I think you are trying to make the car into something it's not. There are a lot of cars out there that will run the quarter faster than your Boxster, and you could probably buy many of them for what you would have to spend to modify your Boxster to compete with them. I think that most of us have come to accept that it's not how fast you get from A to B, but how much fun you have and how good you look doing it. Few vehicles can compete with the Boxster for the style and fun factors. Enjoy the car for what it is.

Just my $.02 worth.
