^^ Interesting to hear your observations about how the car performs (usually, swap reports are just "yeah, it's fast and fun!")

The third paragraph was intriguing. I go back-and-forth about wanting a M113 swap vs. keeping the stock engine with 6 speed manual. It's been said that a NA 6-speed can pretty much keep up with an SRT6 at TOD due to all the twisties. I don't know. There's also something to be said for the fun of driving a slower car hard vs. having to watch your step with a more powerful engine in the same car...like the base Boxster or Cayman vs. the "S" model. (neither of which I've had the pleasure of driving.)

Thanks for the post-TOD report.
