My 997.1 C4S is plenty fast for street use you don't need another 25hp ... Learning to properly drive one in stock form should keep you busy enough. Extra mods in my opinion are not worth the money as gains are minimal and not necessary. Enjoy having a nice car that is simply joyful to drive without trying to go down the street like a kid in a lowered Honda with a "performance muffler" trying to pass everything in sight.
HP is not what it is all about with these cars ....handling , precision , timing ...reaction, proper input & feel when all blended together with time and practice becomes much more rewarding than straight line acceleration and will make you appreciate true capabilities of the car and yourself as a seasoned driver in stock form, then once mastered kimosabe go wild and find yourself a turbo or gt3 and a race track and start all over again..

My two cents...Street is about Torque and down low, HP is about track, up high. Most people cannot objectively feel a 15% range in power. So the 10% gain by the X51 may not be noticeable in a blinded drive as its is only a 10% hike, or may only be noticeable in certain circumstances. Butt Dyno is subject to the placebo effect, I did something to car and I justify/rationalize effort and money by believing that the car is faster. Only way to know for sure is dyno or test runs on a track.
