Heads flycut, chambers cc'd all new std bearings (crank not ground) rods resized and bushed, new rod nuts new 911 clutch, rebuilt PP, newly resurfaced flywheel. Again all balanced as a unit with crank and other rotating bits genuine OE porsche 911 'elephant foot' valve adjusters new FAT performance HD rocker studs. new FAT performance street cam - .495" 290 deg, new cam gear of course, new lifters new FAT blueprinted oil pump New Eurorace shorty intake manifolds, match-ported for DCNFs and T4 head.

The DCNF's are a real good street carb, but I wouldn't use them in a teen. Going through the twisties will upset them and you can never do AX or track with them. The IDF's have a superior float bowl design. Also the T4 DCNF manifolds are quite short, good for down low, but top end will suffer, you would gain a fair bit by using velocity stacks.
This may be my opinion but I have 2 sets (bug and squareback) of DCNF's, so I have a lot of experience with them. The SS exchangers will work OK but a header would gain you some ponies. That would be a 911 clutch disc only. The rest sounds good. What cam? So...how much? |
