Which will be faster?, My 914-4 or 911-6? Options

[ppickerell]

My 914 will be finished soon. It will be a 2056, with a mild cam and headers but will maintain stock FI. I also have the pleasure of owning an driving for the past six months a 135K mile stock 78 911SC 3.0. My question is which car will be quicker? Is the 914's relatively lower weight enough to overcome it's lower HP? Will I finish this pricey mechanical rehab on the 914 only to lust for more power?

I can't see molesting the SC, it is too nice! I removed the center console for my big foot and that was bad enough.

Seems like you have it all worked out. Enjoy the 2056 - and when you get bored of it, go to the 3.2

Sounds from other threads like you will have your suspension and brakes worked out too, which is the other part of the equation. I'd spend a good year getting some seat time and see how you feel afterwards. Theres no rule saying you can't pull the 2056 next yr (or even in 5yrs)
