If it's of any help, had a 2.8L with GE80 cams in my 914-6 and it was a rocket ship to 60 - less than 5 sec.
The key to the whole setup was the cams. We are in the process of rebuilding the engine after 60K hard miles ... this time, even MORE pump with twin-plug, etc. It depends also on whether you want hi-end power or low-end. A 3.6 is generally set up for high end with big carbs, etc. I get scared over 100 so I like the 0-60 pump but each to their own !!! Good luck ... BTW, I had BIG brakes ( late 930 ) which came in handy every now and again. |
