Default Monster 8v!!!
There is something about naturally aspirated 8v's that just brings a smile to my face. For this reason I am considering rebuilding the top end on my 86' N/A. Any ideas or suggestions? What would be the ultimate top end rebuild? Thanks in advance!

spend 10 or 20 grand and have a custom valvetrain so that the car can rev to 10,000RPM and then you can make some more power.

Are there pills or something you can take so you don't have to respond to every thread with useless comments?

lol

There's been a lot of discussion on this same question in the past. You can either do a search, or listen to people tell you it's not worth it at all. The best thing to do with a 944 is make sure the engine is actually running within factory specs, is well tuned and fresh, and then focus on making the chassis tighter. I know people with 944NAs that can keep up with 996tts on very twisty roads just because they can hold more speed through the corners. It doesn't have to have HP to be thrilling.

It will take an equal or greater amount of work to the short block to get to 10 grand
