'87 3.4 conversion worth it?

I must admit I was really nervous when I fired up the Carerra with its new 3.4 liter heart. Was I going to be happy, or angry. Six months of waiting and $8300 later I find myself petrified as I turn the key. I think about all that I did:flowing the intake; reworking the heads, then going with EBS' sport springs and titanium collars; P's&C's from EBS, 20/21 cams from Webcam, new rocker arms and shafts. New shocks, corner balanced. New CV boots.Did I do enough? Did I do too much? ****, I'm scared!

The motor lights and I know instantly that there is something different. The 911 has a throatier sound. Okay, I say, that's a good sign-- maybe this will be a good thing. It is a real good thing. The car totally rocks, even with the stock control unit in it. In 1500 miles the car will go on the dyno and have a new chip crafted, then I can put a horsepower number to this adventure. This is a new car. I'm blown away.
