I am trying to decide whether to upgrade a 914-6 with a 2.7rs engine to something much hotter, perhaps a 3.2 or 3.6 built.

Do you think this would make a huge difference for a car only driven on the street?

What other upgrades do I need to make?

How costly would this be?

I value the torque pulling out of corners.

Is the 2.7 MFI, carbs? The 3.2, 3.6 carbs or Motronic?

The injection system will definitely make a difference in the drivability. A built 3.6 or 3.8 could be scary fast in a 914. I personally think a hot 2.7RS setup with the right cams, injection, headers, etc...is a good balance for our little cars with 210 hp or so.
