I do find it amusing that in the Porsche community that anyone wanting to turn the power up is instantly not meant for a Porsche, or doesn't understand the refinement of the car or any other of a list of condescending adjectives.
I LOVE boost, but I have to admit that I am very drawn to the NA 3.6 option, I just think that the total cost will be very high all thing said and done, not to mention the issue of stressing out the 915 behind a 3.6 If the used 3.6 market hadn't gone bonkers it might be a much better option, but these days I think you'd be hard pressed to get there under 30K
I love the Porsche, maybe 220-240HP would be more fun that I think in a sup 2300lb car. The childhood dream garage was a 911 next to a Cobra anyway sooooo. |
I'm sorry that you are taking good advice as an insult. You came here looking for help, (and you need it), people who know engines are taking the time to explain things and you're whining.
Do whatever you want to the schitbox. Who cares. It's been owned by at least two people who are clueless, the first being the one who threw the CIS away because of some minor and completely fixable issue, (CIS is as simple as FI systems get), and spent IDK how much $$ to put carburetors on it that are suited for some completely different engine. Now it's a slow, fuel-guzzling POS w a transmission that no one ever maintained. And you are blaming the car.
People who are too arrogant to learn how things work and just close their eyes and throw darts don't do well w these cars.
