Ok seriously, you could build a 914 to compete at the nationals, but only if one would be willing to spend some serious cash, just like the competition. To be competitive you'd need a big 6 (375-400 hp) coupled with the right transmission/gearing and tire combination. JP's two speed approach would work great. Actually the Beast would be a good starting point, although maybe a bit heavy, but the big motor/transmission combinations are right now sitting up in Reno. Like a 400HP-normally aspirated 6.

The R25 compounds are not widely available ....more sizes in radials and a better match to car weight. The bias ply R25s are for Formula Atlantic cars which come in at around 1100 lbs. The fronts need a 10 inch wheel and the rears 14 inch.
