?? Really? I'd love to know how "some tweaking" to a US spec '89 3.2L will kick the poo out of an LS1?

I LOVE Porsches. Love them, seriously, just think they are awesome cars. I miss my '88 targa every day.

But unless you're talking about adding a turbo or supercharger (which would probably require more than tweaking) or you're talking about a 911 race motor or unless you're talking about one of the late model GT3 engines, I'm not sure how you can honestly compare power output per cost or power output per weight of an LSx engine and a 911 engine.
