Powerwise I think the 2.7 is in the sweetspot for a 914. Built right they have proven to be reliable in this application. Problem is, webers and CIS leave alot to be desired. For that reason I went 3.2. Not so much for power but for Motronic injection. Ideally itb efi set up would be great for a 914, but that is serious $$$.
Side note - Anybody use ARP austenitic head studs? I paid $32/ea for 993 dilivars! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
