My 914 is going in for some engine work and I am considering one of Jake's kits, either the 2056 140hp or the 2270 145hp package. Any thoughts any comments?
The car is going to be an aggressive weekend summer driver -- to autocross or track. I just want to drive the hell out of it. |

That's absolutelly obvious if you watch to the torque and power curves of both engines.
I have done a bit of phototshop work on the curves provided by Jake. (I hope you don't mind Jake) I superposed the two 140/145hp (2056/2270cc) engine curves It's obvious that despite a very close peak power the 2270cc will provide much more torque and power from 2500 to 5000 rpm ( 20 more HP around 4000 rpm ) Attached image(s)
