It depends on how much power you "need" After looking at both over at Renegade, I would have to say that the LS is easier to install. The Suby is more in tune with the 914 theme, but really, best bang for the buck would be a regular old SBC. 283-302-327. Good power, high revvers, cheap, easy to work on.
My car has a Chevy 302, plenty of power (mid 400s) revs like crazy and with the taller gears, is very driveable on the street and highway. Mark |

the difference is pulling G's IN the corner, not having to stomp on it out of the corner... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I like pulling G's in the corner on power and steady power out My car has a Chevy 302, plenty of power (mid 400s) revs like crazy and with the taller gears, is very driveable on the street and highway. Mark What trans are you using ? |

[/quote] I am running the stock trans that has been regeared. 1st locked out and taller gears installed. (see chart) I've been running it for about 7 years, 40,000 miles now. Done a few burnouts, but as long as you drive somewhat normally, should't be an issue. You can build a pile of 914 boxes before you buy a 930. I've heard that the CVs are the weak link, so hopefully those will go before the trans. I also went with the 302 for the low torque, high revving approach, drives more like a Porsche than a Camaro.
