2.7 987 engines are horrible about losing intake lifters.. Keep that oil changed and use something with real levels of Zinc!

While the 2.7 might come close to the 3.2 in HP figures, thats not real power... Real power is found in torque values and where they are in the RPM range and thats where the 3.2 really kills the 2.7 and not just at peak advertised power.
