Come on guys!

The 914 does not need a blown or turbod sbc.
When we were racing the roundyround cars we got 550 hp+ out of off the shelf crate engines that would last thru 2 seasons of severe abuse.
The worst failure we ever had was a broken piston that occured because of a clutch failure and the resultant overev.
The alchohol/hilborn injected sprint car motor was rated at 710 rear wheel hp!
That engine would last about 9-10 events before having to be freshened.
I currently have a Penscke/spec. 302 from a z/28 in my 17' flatbottom and it will run at 5500 rpm all day without a hicup. Stock from GM with a cast iron GM semi highrise and a 750 Holly, 345hp/318tq.
If thats not enough for a teener I don' know what is.
Plus the tuning problems inherent in any turbo or blown settup.
We have raced a bunch of different stuff including blown alcholol drag hydros and a ton of different roundyround stuff and MY choice for tunability, drivability and reliability is the Hilborn settup.

Just my 2cts.
