Asking for Advise. I'm rebuilding a 3.2. Should I do 3.4/5 twin plug, etc.

I am in process to find a place to fix my engine, transmission, and clutch. I would like to get advise from two perspective, the best option to buy the parts and the advise on the Engine.

I don't have the tools, the knowledge and the time to do it. Therefore I am going to take my car a local shop here in Dallas.

From the perspective of buying the parts, I was thinking on creating a list for the full project (clutch, pistons, seals, hoses, etc) and get quotes from 2-3 places. I don't think there is another way to get a better price.

The main question is on the Engine, I am not sure if I should go stock or it is the time to do few upgrades.

- after reading several threads, I got the idea that the best performance upgrade -I will get it in the headers and muffler.

- Other guys are also suggesting to get 964 cams and upgrade to 3.4 or 3.5 (I will not bore the case)

- And finally some gurus are talking about twin plugs. (here is where I have read a lot, people talking about Andian, using two 964 coils, and big thread talking about using a 993 single unit with inverter).

- I am looking a reliable car for the street (no track).
- I think that if I am going to buy cylinders and piston, go the path for 3.4 and upgrade the cams using 964's.
-Twin plug.- it will allow to have a higher compression, but I think is very expensive and it doesn't give me a lot of HP. and it affects the reliability of the car.
-At some point I was thinking on e85. If I am replacing the fuel lines, fuel pump and injectors - take the effort on switching it into e85. This is not even into consideration any more, I read that there is no significant gain of power (4%) and it is more complicate when the car is idle.
- Something that I think will consider is upgrading the oil pump for a 964.
- Valve guides and ARP struts.
- Should I balance the clutch and crankshaft?
- Any suggestions on the upgrades are welcome.

Thanks
