Chip, reflash

But if you're looking to truly be faster, not just blasting mindlessly in a straight line, BY FAR the best bang for the buck will be springs/shocks and tires. If you can keep a lot more of your momentium, 245 hp is a TON of power.

MANY a Boxster S and Cayman S have been humiliated, embarrassed, and experienced serious "shrinkage", by normal varients of Boxsters & Caymans through relatively modest investments in suspension and tire compound upgrades. And as an added bonus to having a fatter wallet, your engine's life won't be potentially shortened...a common side effect of after-market engine modifications.

You have changed your exhaust with what? I also have a base cayman and I plan to change my exhaust system but I can't decide.

Not what you want to hear, but dead on.
Nothing
that you do aftermarket will get you a true, reliable, +50hp as inexpensively. Plus, you get a Porsche warranty and the goodies mentioned by (now true believer) DaveN007, as well as bigger wheels and some nicer trim pieces.

Yeah, like getting a CS would nip that urge for more power in the bud.

I agree with Jim ,I will see all the s models In my rear view mirror just as I always have with Pure driving skill and a no fear attitude.. Thanks Jim see the rest of you on the track ..
