What kind of power do you see from these 3.6L engines with custom cams?

Do a search on "9M USA" and I posted 2 similar but different conversions done last year. These were street fitted cars, so the stock manifold was retained and therefore limited the power and the usefulness of the powerband. I am in the process of building an ITB 3.6l engine for a race car, however, it would also be streetable, just not as nice for everyday driving as a stock manifold equipped with an idle air control vave.

I am really interested in this quote:

"of couse if you are doing it and can afford it, Geoffrey's GT3 crank, Ti con rod 3.9? w/ 9M heads and Motec(Geoffreys set up is fantastic btw) are the way to go"

Does anyone have some more information on a build like this? Has anyone gone down this road? Geoffrey? Any idea on total cost for an engine like this? Is it built from your existing 964 block, or would you sell your motor as is and buy this built to spec?

I track an RSA quite a bit, and will be doing a rebuild in a couple of seasons. Just starting to do some research. I am leaning towards a completely blueprinted 3.6L motec engine, but would like to look at all options.
