what, EXACTLY, is it you are trying to accomplish ? i get the feeling you know what you want to hear in this thread and you're just waiting for someone else to say it ...
specifically - what is the fixation with power ? a 914 will never be a really successful dragstrip car. if you're looking to win the stoplight Grand Prix on your town's Main Street, you need to go buy a Camaro or something.. if you REALLY wanted to go fast, you would not be asking about power. or suspension mods, for that matter. if you REALLY wanted to be fast, you'd be asking what's the best track driving school, and you'd be spending the $2500 at Skip Barber or Bob Bondurant or Derek Daly. $2500 is a decent budget for a really good cornerweight and competition alignment, a set of durable performance tires like Toyo RA-1 or Michelin Pilot Sport Cup, and an entry fee and travel budget to every track event in your area -- and a bit left over for maintenance items like regular oil and filter changes and valve adjustments. make your car consistent and reliable and learn how to drive it. i promise you'll pick up FAR more time learning to drive what you've got than just adding another 50 HP. or trade in your 914 on a HemiCuda and use the $2500 to buy a couple of tankfulls of 100LL Avgas. |
