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. |

it is way faster and much easier to drive getting there.
no BS just facts...chassis is extremely stiff now, and with a very basic suspension setup, the car is phenomenal currently and will only get better as the suspension is tweeked and it gets more power. I haven't driven it since the rev limiter has been raised...could have used that at the AX a couple of weeks ago (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |

I dont ever remeber being within a second of Vic in the 914. More like 2 to 3 seconds with exception of one event where I think I was a second and a half. Already bettered that in the Boxster with old Canti tires. Havent had a chance yet to run agaisnt him with new configuration. This post has been edited by grantsfo: Apr 6 2010, 10:26 PM |
