When I originally thought about this I was of the mind set of just getting the rolling chassis and starting from there. The only thing I can't do is the body work. Everything else I am not going to worry about.
JCay, what are your ultimate plans for your project?

With our 3.7L Turbo Cayman, we are at 600HP. Here is a video of the car on the dyno and also Mike explaining the dyno chart.

Also, here is the build thread I put together around Christmas time when we got the car running.

My ultimate plan is to build the best porsche this side of a carrera gt. The car will be used on both street and track.

I love the idea and would do it if i had the cheese. I think a GT3 3.8 motor with titanium exhaust would fit quite nicely in my Cayman R 
That being said, for a lot less money the same (or similar) horsepower numbers can be had by getting a TPC Turbo Kit on a nice Cayman S. Something to think about....

Yes. There is a change in material when we have the block machined. For more detailed info on the specs, give Tom Chan a call at the shop 410.799.7223
