K28 might be a good bit of boost. What kind of fuel enrichment does it have on it. Run it too lean can cause major problems. Honed??? Why, more power with the k28??? Been pushed hard? Is this thing rigged a 1 bar of boost. If it is more then 1 bar, run.

I have a later model with a 3.4 motor in it with an 8:41 ring and pinion. It is easier to drive, for me, because you're always in the power band. You'll get a whipping of the tail end when the large turbo kicks in while you're trying to rev it quickly under lag to gain power, then wham, especially the k28. The SC cam does help with the lower end grunt, but not much. After I changed the R and P, It felt like the car had another 50hp. It rev so much faster.

Another thing to check is the tranny. Does it grind going into 2rd and 3rd gear? How many miles on the car.

I know nothing about the earlier cars, I can only tell you about mine. I think they are somewhat similar. Don't drive it, because you'll buy it. It's that much fun. Good luck and be careful with the motor.
