Top end of porsche is just sweet. Sings up to 7500 rpm where vq starts to feel strained and rough.

Heck of a find with PCCB, hopefully they just last and you do not have to deal with wear on those. Prices for them in general have fallen but the P tax will always be in effect: will after market step in?

As for torque sure its down a bit but the weight difference is huge IMHO. Worse for us as we have the Roadster, so compared even to the base 2.7 the Cayman never feels under powered: I can only imagine how much better the S feels below 3K

Do you have PSE? If not, consider the Carnewal mod to remove factory baffles.

It will tickle the ear pussy on every shift: best mod I have ever done
