I would hope a 3.6L with ITB's and headers would make about 300CHP right?
I think the gamble is that you can get a solid running 3.6, that could go a good few years before a rebuild.

I've gathered from your past posts that you like the idea of very rapid acceleration (something a stock, n/a 911 definitely lacks), and if so, there is no question that you should go with turbocharging - a boosted 3.2 will blow the ballz off of a n/a 3.6 (not talking about one built to hand grenade specs) in terms of, "ooohhhhhhh shiiiiiit!", acceleration.
A couple of people here have mentioned "torque", as if a turbo engine lacks that; boosted 911/930 engines are torque monsters, often with numbers equaling, if not greater than, their horsepower output (hence their outrageous acceleration). And turbo lag is basically non-existent if you choose a quality turbocharger (and tune the ignition and fuel injection accordingly).
