3.6 cam choice
Is there enough room to go to a wilder cam with the stock 964 pistons as long as I get away from the common plenum manifold? Or do most people just go on ahead to a 3.8 once they get this far into a 3.6?
Lets say that you found a 964 longblock with no induction and were planning on going to either carbs or ITBs. Which cam would you upgrde to? TIA |

Check with John (camgrinder) on this one. He just did my 964 cams but I am saddled with motronic (for now) so I went with the relatively milder DC20. Oh and I have emmissions testing to deal with as well. I would bet you could get a pretty big cam in there though. If you are going to the expense of ITB's how about another 1k for some JE that have a bit more compression and a lot more valve room? I would also look at maybe the bigger 993 valves with thinner stems as well. Oh wait, I am looking at that already!

stock pistons are already over 11:1, IIRC. I havent bought it or anything, but Im starting to seriously think about it since my 2.4 is out of the car. Its a longblock only, no DME or induction. I wont have a knock sensor unless I go to a full engine management system. Realistically I would go to carbs and crankfire because of the money involved. With no knock sensor, I dont want to chance anything higher than stock compression if its anywhere near 11:1 already. I dont have to worry about emissions due to my cars age.

I think if you measure the compression you will find it closer to 10.4 or 10.5:1 with the factory piston. Chris Bennett has measured these I think. I think the carbs and a good exhuast and crankfire would make a nice powerful motor.
