the 944S is a car that is begging to be built up...william is right, they *are* faster than a normal 8v, but they certainly dont *feel* any faster...and as far as daily driving is concerned, they are useless until 4000+rpm.
as always, it needs more cubes or "breathing assistance" to make it work.

944S and 944s2 and 944na 84-91 all have cast rods, the 944na in 83 had rarst forged rods, turbos from 86-88 all used forged rods, some 89 951's came with cast rods probably a very small percentage.

Ideola:
I believe that Pauter also makes a shorter rod for "stroker" motors so you can use the stock piston.
If you decide to go the 16v route and are looking for a 2.5 head pm me as i've got 2, one fully assembled new guides/etc/redone.

Send me a PM with details and asking price on the heads that you have...I may be interested.

All 944/968 engines used the same length rod. The "stroker" pistons are available, if you are using the 88mm (3.0L) crankshaft in a 2.5 block the piston pin is moved up 4.5mm to accomodate.
