Plus its easy to maintain. I run an open wastegate so on boost noise is pretty sick. It's a flamethrower between shifts as well!

Don't use a stock 930 wing, go for something more modern that helps with downforce while not increasing drag.
Try to have a CF (or Fiberglass) tray made under the body from front to rear, covering the whole length of the car with screws to take it in-out. (the race GT2 EVO versions had this, decreases drag and improves downforce).
Oh one more thing if you go EFI , stick with Motronic!

Good call. Pretty much what I have done to my older car. Gear limited at 160 but solid when you get there.

Thanks guys I am just enjoying driving her now while I'm making the EFI injector blocks and rails. Then probably after the AZ summer heat dies down I'll jump into the conversion.
Zach, Im so glad you have the stones to be different on this project. Seriously I dont know of too many guys who would go through all this work just to have a "sleeper". In my opinion though, it is just raw car. Thats all, and that to me is just plain sexy.
More pictures when you get a chance, rolling ones would be hot!
