It has be a great car to work on and drive but after the past 7 yrs of tracking it, I’m thinking of some newer technology. I do not think I want to go the Cayman/996 route and cannot afford a 04/05 GT3 so the 964 seems a logical platform to move to.
So the big question is…..will a well set up 964 really give me much more than what I have. I’d expect to do the normal to get the 964 track ready; RS clutch, KW clubsport, chip, suspension bushings etc. I’d pull out as much weight as possible with the goal of maybe 2750 and 265hp.
Has anyone any experience moving from a well set up early car to a well set up 964….would love the hear your feedback.

I'd just continue to develop what you have, unless you just want to have something newer/different. Just address the weaknesses as they arise which is obviously what you have been doing.
If you buy a 964 there are still going to be issues
you still need to replace all the bushes, the shocks, springs and sways for best results
the brakes are only a marginal improvement over Carrera brakes, most guys upgrade to 964RS or even 993RS
oil cooling can be an issue, most guys add a second cooler
depends on the track but some guys don't like the stock gearing much.
