Here is a segment of video of the 916 chasing Chris Foley's 914 somewhere between Fontana and Deals Gap. A second video is at post #30
The wind noise was awful so I filtered it quite a bit and reduced the volume. If you listen closely, you can hear the engine at certain points.

And here is a picture I took of several 914s and the 916 going round a curve at low speed.

Its not that big a deal. There were plenty of turns were you could see all the way through them. I crossed some doubles in the turns a couple of times. If the car had more than 3hp I would have passed a couple of bikes in those turns also. They were holding me up.

Here is a ~5 min segment about half way down the TN side of the Dragon. You may recognize the large pull off area at the end of the video.

Too slow.

Can I pay you to send me a flash drive with the entire video?
I want to see the parts where I was "misbehaving", especially when George was egging me on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

... define warmed over 1.7.

Long duration cam (similar to Web 86a), dual valve springs, compression increase, lightened flywheel, 40 Dells, 1 1/2" header, horizontal fan cooling.
Stock valves, unported heads, stock crank, stock rods, stock pistons.
Pulls strong to at least 6200 rpm - haven't found redline yet!
The engine was sold to me as a "race engine" a few years ago, along with the Delortos.
There were some things I didn't like about the assembly so I pulled the heads to get a closer look. Its a good thing I did because it was assembled with stock head gaskets. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
At that point I decided to put it back together rather than spend time and $$ to rebuild it to my liking. Apart from some leaky pushrod tube seals which I didn't replace while it was apart it's been just fine, and I could use it in a pinch as a backup race engine.
I think the peak output is around 100bhp but I could have easily added another 20hp with some port work, lighter valves, and forged pistons - at the cost of some low end driveability.

LOL.
Don't be fooled by how easily I seemed to pull away from the 916. There's still no substitute for horsepower.
I was driving very hard in that first clip. We had just gotten around a car that was holding us back big time and I let loose until we encountered more traffic.
That's the kind of carrot George wanted and I was more than happy to oblige. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Here is an interesting comparison between Racer Chris's car and the 916.
This is the same curve with both cars traveling the same speed. Pictures were taken within moments of each other as we passed by the photographer.
