The old fart's are just scared of programable fuel injetion. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

They think just because it says PORSCHE on the valve covers they need a high end system with all the bells and whistles (most of which they'll never use) that they cannot understand.

Granted, a Moteck (or equivilent) ITB system would be a new challenge, but if you give me one, I'd be a happy camper. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I know where to go to find a guy that could make it work and it would give another 20-30 ft lbs of torque across the curve.... I'd watch to learn.

I hear a local shop had developed an EFI system
using a reworked later style TB set-up that does allow radical cams, etc .......but the cost is similar to the above. I haven't gotten a look at it, but will at the Parade.

The problem with my car now (and has been) is that there is more car than this old fart can deal with. For me, more power is not cost effective whereas more talent would be a boon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
