Ditto all RarlyL8 has had to say.

ks911: I have a couple of questions for you, if you do not mind.

1) have you done anything so drastic that the car could never be returned to stock? - providing that you kept all the Porsche stuff.

2) I believe that Dr. Porsche used a flat six to keep the motor mass low. Has the V8 changed the bias of the car very much? I am not just talking decreasing radii here, but rather overall driving comfort.

3) what do expect your final costs to be?

I know very well that Porsches engines are a marvel and put together like a Swiss watch. But it is hard to imagine needing to speed several thousand dollars to get 350 HP out of such a fine motor. That would ruin the original configuration, would it not? Hell, you can accidently build 400HP out of a LS1 for little more than lunch money.

I must admit, this string has my blood running a little hot and my dreams are becoming littered with bow ties... I just get tired of needing to adjust valves every time I start the car.
