The 2011 Nat thread talk about getting competitive in DP is not the first time I have had thoughts on this. After bringing a "Knife to a Gun Fight" the only 2 times I have competed on the Nat Level (SSM and FP) in my 2056. I am only going to help someone else win tires in that company.
I will be back in Oct in Blythville tho because its in my local region and it's a blast even when you are bringing up the rear!! Enough rambling back to the topic... What would a competitive 914 have to look like from top to bottom. What can/can't be done and what can/can't be replaced? Thoughts/ideas/input are always welcome..... |

Maybe I did see that on the GP cars...Also limits to 32 carb size IIRC.
Lot's of good info coming out here. My car might not be the right car to build out to DP. But I know a guy that has a roller(@scottyB's), stroker 2270 t4(just needs assembly) and a tranny(evil just needs to know what gears) just waiting to be put together. Not sure about suspension but it is a 5 lug conversion that is getting flares. It looked like 7" wheels w/o penalty. 8's slight weight penalty up to 10's. As Josh states weight looks like a killer... |
