OK, well here goes all the secrets:

What can I say - it looks like I'm a pretty lucky guy to have Jake and Charles helping/ sponsoring my new motor.

This should be a lot of fun as we are building the first Raby/LN Engineering motor to be used in Northern California Porsche Club events, i.e., both AutoX and track.

The motor will be slightly bigger than 2.4 liters, 98X80 with all the trick stuff, including special heads by Mr. Hoffman. This will be a high compression motor with a split duration cam design that allows that wonderful Hoffman head to work. It will of course work on the track, but the entire idea is to error on the side of TORQUE.

We will be running GM class or AutoX2, depending upon which rules you want to visit.

And if all the stars and moons line up exactly so, we will be upgrading to a GIANT Raby motor next year. More about this later.

Special thanks also go to Mike Muller who has joined helping make sure we got a set of his incredible bearings to make the suspension work at its best. Mike also will be building a second configuration of four Ninja Throttle Bodies, mounted on Weber Carb intakes to make this thing pull hard.

Also need to thank Bill and Doris Pickering who, in a weaker moment, made available a beautiful posi-traction 901 to get this puppy out of the corners.

And of course Brad Roberts who set up my car in the first place and will be much enjoyed when he returns to guide us again in day-to-day life.

As to power, we'll see after we install and dial in the fuel injection, but this should be a strong configuration, and we all know Jake doesn’t mess around.
