My life experiences taught me to respect other's opinions...
unless putting a 3.2 liter twin plugged 911 adds $20,000 to $25,000 to the value of my unbranded, no warranty, DIY garage build that I do not plan on selling I am happy buying a $1,500 engine that is 80 pounds lighter and putting $2,000 in to bump it up to 700+hp.
Yes a flat six is cool to hear and look at but my project, my car, I can't be wrong if I am the customer. This customer wants max power with the incredible grassroots looks of a 911 with just enough changed to get a second look.
If you plan on out bidding my current customer, with a deposit, I will be happy to build and put in a flat 6 twin plug for you.
I forgot I am not the only ass hat messing with 911's old or new. Ruf 911 V8

I signed up just to say that this machine is awesome. Absolutely love what you've done with it mate. And knowing that you put in 90+% of the work yourself is incredible.
It's making me want to do a Rauh-Welt based widebody unit and cramming a dry sumped Individual Throttle Body LS motor into it.
If you weren't going Twin Turbos I'd definitely recommend going to a Harrop style ITB manifold. The throttle snaps on nice and quick and the motor definitely gets up and goes. That said general drive-ability can be affected depending on the tune but that's the same on any modified car really.
Couple pics of my car. It's no Porsche but it's got a ITB LS1 to have some fun with (and I can tell you it's a lot of fun haha)
Cheers guys
