Looking for a little more horse power
I own a 2006 997 coup. I am looking for the most effective & efficient way to add a some Hp . Also the car is still under factory warranty. Any advice would be appreciated.

Here's one option:
Go to the Farnbacher Loles website and check out their Power Plus kit for the 997.

It's cheaper than the Porsche X51 option.

Do a search and you'll find dozens of posts just like this asking about HP. You'll find there's really not much you can do with the 3.6l engine in the base 997. The 3.8l engine of the 997S has more upside - you can push to about 385 hp, which is more than enough.

Yeah, 385 HP is what the FBL Power kit promises.

Umm no. Did you not see the results from the intake plenum tested by AWE and also another independent dyno? It added zero peak power and actually looked to lose a few in the midrange.

You are up in west palm beach and I recommend the champion motorsports f77/tubi package . It includes a carbon fiber airbox , Tubi exhaust and when I had my 997S I also had the Evoms headers. The sound and midrange punch with the GIAC flash gave the car seamless acceleration. It's not cheap stuff though but I was very happy .
You can have it installed at a variety of places but the closest place to you is Champion .
Here is their website - http://www.championmotorsport.com/
Here is the video which mesmerized me for a few weeks before I decided to buy it.

Sure, spend $ 1,000 on some P.O.S. that takes away power.
