I had a similar thought process 6 years ago when I had a 900ss-loved it to bits but wanted more power and better handling. I was going to get Chris Clarke to do a 944 conversion with flat slide carbs and a 'nest of vipers' front exhaust. The engine work would have given me the power and the pipes would have allowed me to chuck it into corners without continually grounding out the collector-but the cost was over half way towards the difference to change to a 996-which is what I did. Still love the 2 valve motors though.
