Anyone actually do a 3.8 conversion yet?

when I first tested a Cayman with 450 bhp (3.8 supercharged), it still had the standard front end. It was very obvious that more downforce was required in front. The GT3 style front end, with its better air management and laminar flow inproves front end downforce.

Neil Orton with Orton Performance in Cumming, GA has done the 3.8 conversions, and has also done a ferocious supercharged Cayman that was terrifyingly fast. Neil is a hell of a nice guy too: www.ortonusa.com
Neil is doing a monster horsepower Cayman next year that will blow people away!

Crazy me sitting here thinking of a 3.8 in a Cayman but made with boost. Just 13 or 15psi or so.

I love that RUF car - it was in Excellence this month. Gorgeous...
A 3.8L Cayman is the ticket IMO. I'd much rather have a 400hp NA Cayman than even a GT3. It'd be close, but I'd go with the Cayman.
