Cayman Mods...help me make a list!

All I have done so far to my Cayman S (CW/Stone Gray) is the clear sidemarkers with chromed bulbs that blink amber (yellow lights on white looks like a fried egg to me), the Bumperplugs door plug, and tints lol.

I want more power so engine tuning is a priority, and all suggestions are welcome please (chip, intake?,de-snork, etc.).

As per the exterior, im sold on the techart front spoiler and sideskirts, but i havent made up mymind on the drop...springs ok for a few months with the oem shocks? I have the Carrera S 19' wheels on it and will keep those for a while...i love their classy look.

Let hear your ideas!!! Sorry, i know i need to post pics, but you can picture it hehe.

P.S. I dont want any BMW Z4 M coupes killing me on the street, I have lots of bimmer friends taunting me already with how much it will kick our cayman butts haha.

I'm with Neil. And then supercharge the 3.8. Should solve the Z4 problem nicely . . .

Well, dropping a 3.8 is around 30k lol...how about some simpler mods....to modify the existing 3.4L. =)

Being that its a N/A engine, how much would a cold air intake increase performance....are there any available that provide good Dyno number improvements or is the stock airbox as good as it gets?

Any specific intake companies come to mind for our cayman? Thanks and sorry for all the questions!

Any of you guys familiar with the "de-snork" mod? And can anybody vouch for a performance gain or at the very least better sound? =)

Thanks! Let's see those ideas!!!!

1st De-Snork
2nd B&M SSK
3rd Coilovers
4th Give it to Stephen Kasper at Imagine Auto and tell him to Super Charge it. I am sure this will be next after my car is done.
4th exhaust, headers, high-flow cats, ECU Program (+/- 475 HP)

Then you can beat the new M3,M5 and M6

If they can beat you at the track then mod it... if not, just go with stage 2

That 340 HP sounds pretty good but....









A supercharged Cayman would be absolutely ridicoulously amazing to drive...

As was mentioned on e46fanatics its time for you to set a benchmark and we all get to sit back and enjoy the show.
