20 HP and 24 lbs torque with fuel,air,timing possible?

I remember seeing this and being surprised. I've got the same setup, plus a bit more and dynoed at 244rwhp.
IMHO, 300 FWHP is about the best you'll get from bolt-ons with the 3.2.
I do not think the original poster's question is possible without other work.

Not cheap to get there, but it can be done.

Example: Boxster S Manual, not sure what year it was.

Mods: Stainless silencer (muffler) and manifolds (headers) - K&N panel - 75mm throttle body - custom 83mm intake - custom remap - MDS underdrive pulley.

Got a dyno of 271.9 HP add in 18% drive train loss = 320.84 HP. If he had done a complete air intake upgrade, at the least would be an extra 5 HP and would be 325 HP.

Clue me in what you mean by FWHP? Never mind flywheel horse power. I always thought that was called bhp?

Worse case scenario of your car having a 22% drive train loss (per Jake's post), you have 297.68bhp, that's a 47.68hp increase. Your car has a 7.2 dme, my car has a 7.8 dme, might be some benefit there? The engine are a bit different unless you put a 2003 or newer engine in your car, your car from factory had 250bhp, mine has 258bhp.
