Why is no one successfully racing a 2.0 914/6 in SCCA GT3? To me the motor seems to have the potential to really be a class killer if properly developed. The factory made 220hp way back in the 70s with 60s technology in endurance trim. Imagine what could be done now.

I hadn't even looked at the 911, guess SCCA is still pissed at the 914.

Yes GT racing is very competetive. If you want to win you don't just slap a car together and run it. You must examine every aspect and design the car to the maximum. That is part of the the reason I am interested in the class. Yes I had thougt about doing the 4 cylinder but the more reasearch I do with the flow data the stock heads have no chance without me welding the hell out of them. A competitor will spot that a mile away. If I could use other heads then there might be a chance but until then.
