I would be curious,..with a EG33 conversion or the 2.5 Turbos 0-60 times and also Hi-Way cruising speeds,. could U cruise at say 100-120 MPH depending on Trany ( I Know ) but whats the common numbers for those car's,..Taking the plunge ASAP and I cant do it quick enough..!!

The flat 6 conversion,equals 1980's Ferrari performance numbers easy and then some,..

I've done a couple 1/4 mile tests in my car with the v8/901 setup with very mild launches and they were in the high 12's. The biggest thing is the gear changes and when you get into the big HP/TQ game (above 300) it gets to be about traction in the lower gears.

129 trap speed is flying! Makes perfect sense of the 11 flat time. In fact I am not surprised by the 2 second 60ft.


The fastest 914 I was ever in was the very wild white flared IMSA car with 315 hoosiers and a 500hp v8. That car was sideways and didnt regain traction till about 80mph.... This is one of the main reasons why I chose a big turbo car and decided to incorporate traction control and stability control (Not to mention I LOVE LOVE LOVE the systems in my Fiesta ST..).

In full race spec I will be turning the boost down in first and second gear so I can maintain the traction threshold, and once its at the limit I'll let the system handle the bumps and niggles in traction that could throw it off the edge. I dont think Im going to have a problem holding full power (500+) in third which is 72-110 on my gearbox.
