I am trying to decide whether to upgrade a 914-6 with a 2.7rs engine to something much hotter, perhaps a 3.2 or 3.6 built.

Do you think this would make a huge difference for a car only driven on the street?

What other upgrades do I need to make?

How costly would this be?

I value the torque pulling out of corners.

Engine has dual webers. Is mechanical fuel injection a worthwhile upgrade?

you hafta define "worthwhile" ...
it was worth 15HP in the factory cars.
it'd probably cost you $5000 to implement now, if you have none of the MFI stuff, nor the cams.

there are probably faster, cheaper ways to get that 15HP, especially if you favor low-range torque.
