Hello,

That has been a difficult question to ask. I assume that many of you are aware of the seeling prices for a Jack Raby's engine. I have used the search engine but I have not been able to come across something interesting and clear enough.
I have had a look on his website and it seems to be a tough process to get a quote. As I do not want to annoy him with my newbie questions (He seems to be quite busy)and I would like to be sure I can afford this engine prior to discussing with him, I rely on your knowledge.
I would like to get a 2270 performer as I intend to track my future 914 a little. Would it be a good choice? Maybe a 2056 performer should be enough?
I feel a bit like a dummie with this post
Thanks for your help and your advice.

Phat B will catch up to 222 next season. My car is in its infancy in terms of development compared to the 6 or 7 years Randal has been working on 222. This is really the first season I have set it up as AX car and its still way too heavy to go after Randals AX car. With me in the car I'm draging around about 600 lbs more than 222 with similar level of power and far less torque.

Once I get the car down to 1900lbs and get 300 HP 3.4 in it Randal might have something to worry about. Right now I'm just a nuisance while he continues to sort his car.
