You ignore 4 pages of context to conjure a narrative that fits what you want? Yea Zeke you "nailed" it, I just want people to look at me.
That's not what I said. However, you do remind me of the kid that had a Lamborghini Countach and Farrah Fawcett poster on the wall and since you couldn't have one, you'd bygod get the other.

He clearly did by saying what you shouldn't do and that was use carbs on your motor but rather restore the induction to CIS.

Thanks Java, I know I balk at the costs of some of the Porsche power options... all but the most devoted or wealthy have to admit that the costs are pretty insane at times. For me it's trying to find the right balance of cost to power that will keep a grin on my face. It might be 200 well tuned HP it might be more, I am not really sure.


I do know that this is my Porsche, that I see as a canvas to paint what I want my Porsche to be. I know that it will change with time and that's okay too. I will do me best to listen to it and learn from it for years to come.
Kinda where I was going with my statement about seeing yourself in the reflection. Some are more keen on what the car represents and others are all about optimum performance. You seem to be somewhere in the middle. IDK, I just got that impression. If I'm mistaken, you have my apology. Not here to fight. In fact, I've lost pretty much any energy I might have had for this thread.

If memory serves me well, Jack upgraded to a 3.6 for about what your budget is. I believe it is a 964 based engine and not a 993. Prices are up these days, I grant you that.

Good luck on your endeavor.
