You can't dispute that. That was with a custom Magnaflow with custom 2nd cat bypass. I ran it again 4 months later on the same dyno and got the same.

Here's a pic of the setup

Sorry, I didn't mean to question you and should have asked about your setup. Taking a cat out could open up things up a bit and looks like a bigger pipe than my Agency Power cat back.

It sounds great, I had a magna flow on my M3 and while I never dyno'd it, huge weight saving and great tone and you cannot beat the pricing.

Thanks for posting some details.

Ha, you have it easy, I have to run against 997 GT3, 750hp Ford GT, McClaren SLR, 700hp GT2, F430, Gallardos, LP640 and more in my 295hp Cayman S.

To be honest, I love it! I have done a Cat back, am doing a K&N drop in filter, ECU flash and then to take all that is good and make it better, a set of fully adjustable coilovers. I suspect I will gain maybe 20-25hp but as you well know, the handling is an incredible equalizer. I get pulled on the straights pretty badly by some of the higher hp cars but when the curves come I am right back in it.

Like you said, we get a lot of respect for hanging in and I enjoy that. I think it shows that you actually have some talent, not to disparage anyone of course.

I lived in Seattle for about a year and my brother is an orthopedic surgeon there. I grew up in Spokane but don't hold that against me.

in addition to Imagine Autos supercharger, Kelly-Moss has a program for the Boxster (www.kellymoss.com/). These are not options are not for the faint of heart.

Have you considered another approach...dropping the weight of the car? I don't how much can be saved because I've never looked into it but it potentially has more benefits.

There is the Imagine SC I had one on my car.
There are videos of the supercharger on a dyno, 0- (undisclosed speed) run and a few other videos at www.youtube.com/gwhand

You can find used superchargers all over the internet.

Have fun.
