Some say go six, some say stay four or go BIG four.
At what point does the SIX take over? I run a 90 hp four and have been told that my 'lil SIX will make me slower with my 130+ hp. PO says 245hp. Won't truly know 'til dyno day. Which may sway me. What kind of weight increase are we talking about? Will I enjoy the car more on the street with the SIX? Because let's face it I run 1-2 a/x a month compared to my 200 miles street driving. a/x season is coming to an end soon. I'll finish with the four. My project will be during winter. If the SIX is bogus I'll put the four back in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Only my time with my car hobby has been spent.

QUOTE(Brad Roberts @ Aug 15 2004, 09:47 PM) HP to weight ratio.... 90hp@ 2100lbs 130hp@ 2300lbs It will always be easier to accelerate and stop less weight. The biggest mistake made by newbie drivers... adding power before they can drive. It is much easier to add power than it is to add driver. B I am a perfect example of too much power and not enough driver... A 2270 in the 914 on R compound tires and it was only my second auto-x. The car was a handful and it literally shot from corner to corner... I couldn't keep up with it! Tom |
