I'm curious about your description of this car. I have been friends with several people who have built DSM's and I have never heard any of them reference bbk "top ends", "3/4 cams", (lol @ the 60's reference), or modifying for two turbos over the immensely more popular large single setups.

Why not? I have seen more than one 4g63 run 14's at 150k miles in (handicapped) fwd form.

My 944 makes almost as much power as my F150 with an engine half the size (2.5L I4)

I'm just glad the Ford is cheap to work on because it's the least reliable out of all three vehicles.

The Porsche gets driven much harder and longer than the pickup. I got it specifically to beat on when I'm in a bad mood or need a good drive to take out my anger and so far it's taken it all. This way I don't beat the **** out of my Monte Carlo which the FWD drivetrain simply can't take. I have to baby the pickup even if it's just for a trip to the grocery store. Maybe a something other than the weak 302 would help it out seems how most of the problems seem to be drivetrain related.
