+1. New coils, plugs and injectors made a huge improvement in mine. My other car is an LS3 Corvette which is a torque monster, so I really notice the lack of grunt in the 997 (mine's a 3.6 6MT) but then again in the Vette I miss the rev-happiness of the Porsche. My 3.6 does pull from about 1000rpm in 4th without lugging, but that's with easy throttle application, not mashing it.

What's the delta from 'what it used to be' till 'lately' and how many miles?
Perhaps it could be psychological and you just got used to the power. What mods do you have? IPD time?
