My Dad's original 2.7 needs upgrading. I'm doing the suspension, quicker ratio rack, slightly bigger t bars, new busings, bilsteins, ft brake cooling, pedal cluster maintenance, light flywheel and all aluminum pressure plate, Carrera bars w/ adjustable drop links. Mostly "fast" street driving/ a few track days. I'll have installed cooler lines, factory thermostat and an 85 fan assisted Carrera cooler and will be recovering a pair of 84-944 sport seats. (I love this car).
The tranny will get refreshed with new 7/31 or 8/35 R&P, Guard LSD, bearings, supports and side plates, synchros and other bits.
So, I am pondering going to PMO ITB's with COP, or possibly, (finances permiting), doing the forged 10.0 or 10.5 forged slugs, slightly bigger ports and cams, maybe dual plug.
So, with a bone sock, (perhaps healthy) 2.7 what hp/throttle response can I expect, just putting 10 K into the FI versus the perhaps unknown cost of upping the compression and going to bigger cams????
I have read a lot of threads and have the impression that a roughly healthy stock engine with ITB's added will gain a few horsepower and a significant increase in throttle response with some improvement in mileage, (over CIS).
The car has been "under repairs/out of service" for several years and I am anticipating the possibility of gunked up CIS/fuel tank. hould I cut to the chase and go EFI or flush the CIS??? Before the car got retired for repairs, it had been running well, previously line bored, repaired heads, new stud inserts, valve job and Dad did a lot of maintenance on it, or rather, he paid a lot to have it done before he passed.
Started working again to fund my car "problem". Hope to get the old Rotary twin post installed this summer and getting Dad's car screaming again.
He had a lot of interior work done, a glass out re-spray, and refinished the Fuchs.
I know this a VERRRRY slippery slope.
Opinions welcome,
seriously troubled car guy,
