Hence, my regular Boxster! hahaha! I try my little butt off to keep up, but as common sense would be...I CAN'T!! especially at take off's. grr! but...my little boxster DOES hold "her" own around twisties! Anyway, without upgrading to a totally diff. car, you see my dilema! I wanna keep up! hahha! Thank god that I can sort of hold me own. As they would say about me "you've got some ***** for a woman!". Personally, I think my ***** are bigger than my brain!

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

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.

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.

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.
