We have beat the piss out of our 914/6 with a pumped 3.0 over the last 2 years (without a external cooler) and it ran 230 on hot days.
I spoke with a 911 engine dyno guru today who said they noticed large drops in HP with anything over 215deg. Bruce Anderson backed this up with what Woods has found on his dyno. I can understand the concern for a full blown race car, but a street car wouldnt notice a 5-8hp decrease in HP after sitting in traffic. I will make an effort to keep our race cars around 195. Street cars are safe to 230 with synthetic (in my book) B |
