How much power can you squeeze out of a 986 Boxster S?

A dyno doesn't measure hp. It measures torque. HP are calculated from torque and rpm.

There are different parameters that can affect a measurement:
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Grip
- Fuel quality
- Air filter, sparks…

If you don't use a calibrated and certified dyno, measurements are just written lines on a piece of paper.

Funny how people are hunting for 5 hp at the top end. Useless to say that this doesn't affect the driveability of the approx. 250 hp car in any way.

But keep on searching. Always funny to me.

Just my 2 cents.

I do. The cheapest and most effective way to boost my Boxster car I've found so far is using one of these. Easy to use:

Wind blows south = take the highway
Wind blows East = use the back roads
No Wind = take the Volkwagen Turbo instead

etc... etc... works like a charm.
