Soooo.... Im just thinking... planning.. whatever.

My idea for when I have a trani to back up the v8, is to do a turbo... What I see with the v8's is the tq band.. Its Huge down low, and its a mirror reflection of the hp band.. If I went with a turbo with the 350.. that tq band would be level till 3.5k or so, then follow the hp band.... Ideal....

Also, you wouldnt have a "radical" engine, and could maintain decent fuel economy.

Obviously I would make my own system to fit in the engine compartment, and I would probably go with FI as well, also twin turbo makes sense as well because of placement, and spool up time. Im thinking a moderate 500 hp on 5 or 6 psi on a To4...

Heres a couple ebay auctions

Eye candy....

FI could be 1k.... Turbo setup could be 1-10k.....

Eh... I need a trani....

The V8 is enough power!
Get the car running right and geared right then spend some thought on how to make it handle and stop well.
By then you will be on your 2nd motor and you could revisit more HP.
A well tuned 914 v8 is the fastest car I have ever been in and I would have to do alot of driving before I felt I needed more speed.
