Powerplant options and what not

I'm by no means saying I'm worried about the factory 3.2 blowing up anytime soon, I'm more planning for a long term battle plan. I have access to a factory 3.4 currently, and the price is right, so I'm just debating if I should pick it up while I can or not.

After looking into the FabSpeed exhaust and DME software, I'm VERY interested.

One would certainly hope that a well maintained Porsche motor like this go at least 120K.

Except for the DME programming, all of the parts from Fabspeed would work on any of the motor options you are looking at. If it were me, I'd take care of the intake and exhaust, enjoy that for a while, then swap the motor when the 3.2 is really looking tired.

For 25K for can have a brand new Carerra S 3.8 installed. For 10-15K you should be able to get a 3.4 or 3.6 depending. For 8K you could supercharge it. For 2-3K you could do the header/exhaust stuff. Dont bother with the exhaust stuff if your wanting lots of power later on and will go for the engine swap, Itd be a waste. I bet a member who has done a swap will tell you the best option due to their experience.
