Engine Configuration -- Hi HP motor, based on 3.0 liter -6 case Options

[nine14cats]

From previous threads and personal experience I now have a better understanding of the following:

2.7 High Compression track motor with 40 IDA Webers (inside our first 914-6)

3.2 Stock DME transplant (from previous thread here at 914Club)

3.6 993 motor with stock DME (inside Fritz, our current track car)

I would like engine configurations (comp ratio, carb sizes, cams, etc) for a 3.0 liter case motor. I am still looking at what to build for "The Beast". I can run 100+ octane race gas as this is a track only teener. I prefer injection, but carbs maybe the only way to get it on the road cost wise. I currently have a set of Weber 40's on my bench. I want a 200 hour motor if possible.

I am planning on running a 901 box behind any of the above configs except for the 3.6 if I go that route again.

What configurations and what HP can I achieve with a 3.0 case? I am open to bigger jugs..... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

Thanks for the help!

3.0 case is mucho stronger than the 2.7.. you get into the transition between aluminum and magnesium..

Im just relating what we have had success doing..

basically... build up a good foundation... make the bottom end bullet proof.. once you have that covered, your options to make power become much wider....Im not concerned with what transmission the engine is bolted to..

edit: I do care about the engine transmission as a system. The most important thing when building up a high performance engine is a good bottom end.. dont skimp there
