Hmm, very interesting.

I have a "stock" '86 3.2 coupe with 138k on it and never been rebuilt. It has a Vertex chip, stock headers and an aftermarket Cat (PO had removed b/c his locale allowed that; I had to re-install cat to pass DC's strict emissions req'mts.).

Frankly, compared to my '72 E rebuilt to 2.7 RS-spec w/ 9.3 JE pistons (220+ HP?), my '86 hasn't wowed me either with drive-by-wire throttle response or the milder cam. The 2.7 was on fire over 4,000 RPM w/ the S cams and ran up to 7300. The 3.2 has decent torque, but no thrills or excitement when you wind it up. It actually reminds me of my '70 T which didn't have near the torque but also ran out of breath over 5,000 RPM and underscores the importance of cams in a 911.

As I plan an impending rebuild, I'm trying to identify the best options for induction, cams and exhaust. I know lots of people just swap out the 3.2 for a 3.6 but what are the best 3.2 options?

The kicker's my car's a daily driver and DC requires OEM emissions output--even 356's have to pass very stringent emissions tests here.

Thanks,
John
