Cayman 3.8L mod possibilities?
As i still ponder the idea i was wondering the following.
What DFI carrera engine would be best (in terms of price and power) for a swap in a 2009-2012 cayman? Would it be a 997.2 carrera engine or the 991 carrera engine?
What cayman is the better car for the swap for either motor? the 2009-2012 or the 2013?
pros/cons?

For 2009-2012, the best choice would be a 408 hp GTS motor, but they are hard to find. Otherwise, the 997.2 "S" motor at 385 hp works well. For a 2013, use the 991 "S" motor (400 hp).
The swap is relatively straight forward for either car. Pretty much the same. BGB Motorsports has done a bunch. Takes about 30 hours of labor plus engine plus various small parts.
