997.2 Performance Upgrades
Hey All,
I have a 997.2 Carrera S Cabriolet. Just came out of warranty, and I'm feeling like it should be faster than it is.
What are the best performance upgrades? I'm faced with a big bill to dump this and buy a new Turbo Cabriolet, so trying to think of ways to bridge the gap.
Turbos? Who makes the best software?
Right now I just have the Fabspeed Valvetronic Exhaust, which is great, but I'm itching for more HP.

Agree with Slicky here..trade for Tubo. Nothing will gain you the HP you need or want on a naturally aspirated engine. There are aftermarket super chargers to bolt on but in realality you seriously compromise your engine durability as the engine was not built for this.
Want reliable trouble free hp and torque...get a 997 Turbo

I must agree as well, if you have a speed itch to scratch, you are best off moving to a turbo - then upgrading that as well when it begins to feel slow!
