Preparing a new race car build. Would like to run. Fairly stock 2.0 and don’t want to get into a class where the 914 won’t be competitive. If I have a fully caged and braced tub, modified suspension, modest weight reduction and a stock but carbed 2.0, what class would you suggest would be competitive to build toward? For VARA, POC, SVRA most likely.
Looking through all their GCR’s and classifications, there seems to be a few different ways to go. Suggestions from those that have been there would be appreciated. |

QUOTE(ablesnead @ Jan 24 2019, 04:22 PM)  ...It could comfortably make 200 hp.....really ! define comfortable...not a type 4 turning 8500 thats for sure Jake and I have collaborated on race T4's that exceeded 100hp/liter, including an EP 2.0/4 that reliably made north of 200hp and FP 1.8's that exceeded 180. These engines would wind to over 8K, but made peak power around 7300. Certainly not for the faint of wallet, but Prod racing a 914 competitively never will be. |
