If you look beyond Porches, lots of people have found that Bosch built a lot of headroom into CIS. The commonly accepted figure for the Rabbit GTI is ~140 HP before you have fueling problems. The stock HP for that engine is 90.

Only person I know of who tried it with a 911 was "rdane" who got ~223hp to the wheels with a 3.4 with early CIS. Details here Assuming ~15% driveline loss, that is around 250HP for an engine that came stock with ~180.

My 3.2 CIS kind of falls on it's face up top, I expect the small ports are largely to blame. But they are 34mm, not 36.

If we set our idle and cruse AFR near 14/1 and wish 13/1 for max TQ, we need more fuel. USA Porsche CIS cars do not have an enrichment function and can go to 17/1 AFR on first accel. This is part of the reason along with the low compression why CIS is not know for its throttle response.
I don't think this is correct. I know the CIS-Lamda does, from the Lamda box, triggered by the full throttle switch. The CIS basic had enrichment through the WUR. The factory manual show 2 different control pressures, with and without vacuum. They system gets richer when manifold vacuum drops.

Set CR to 10.5, lower control pressure with accel so the metering plate starts moving so we get in instant 13/1 AFR on top of twin plug ignition and it will wake CIS up.
Twin plug is pretty much mandatory on that bore size.

Honestly, For the time and effort involved with building the Andial engine, unless you are doing it for a engineering exercise, save your time and money. Sell your engine and put the proceeds toward a 3.6.
