Kind of. The car seriously performs like it has 390+BHP...yet it doesn't have that. When I drove the gen II Cayman S and mashed the throttle at 5kRPM, I felt like I had mashed the throttle of a camry 
seriously. It amazed me at how "slow" it felt.
I think someone with a gen II CS needs to drive my car. All are welcome! I'm in MD.
Thanks for the compliments. And YESSSS 13K used.....

Once you get used to a fast car, there's no turning back.

LOL. In this case the statement is appropriate. HP really isn't everything in my case. I thought it had a boat load more, but it really doesn't.
In my mind I'm still going to be driving around in a 390 BHP Cayman GT
....IN MY MIND

So i am a little confused here?
You did some NA mods and got 28 rwhp and are happy with it OR you wish you used the money for a Turbo kit?
Coming from someone who is looking to do the same (perhaps?) i would really like to know if you would do what you just did again or if youd pony up for the Turbo Kit?

Slav, the only way i Turbo my Cayman is if i scoop up a 3rd car (997 Cab, 360 Spider, etc) --- otherwise i am most likely just going to trade for a 997 Turbo do a Switzer Stage 1 kit and call it a day

NA bolt ons were essentially a waste of money/ gut-wrenchingly bad bang for the buck value.
Still love the car, but like I said; knowing what I know now. Don't go the NA path, just stick to the turbo.

Keep in mind that I did these NA mods over the course of around 3 years. If I had to do it all over again, I woud've gone turbo route and ponied up another $3k from the getgo. I will say that the NA sounds better than the turbo. However throwing on some catless headers like Schwabe did will do the trick and make it sound awesome.
