Help with SCCA GT-3 914-6 GT Options

[John Zimmer]

I am in need of some,alot of technical help regarding the fabrication of a 914-6 GT(clone) SCCA GT-3 club racer. I have decieded to have camp 914 put the project together. Craig knows what he is doing with respect to the flares, roll-cage, coolers, suspension etc.. I need help with some of the tricks you SCCA guys have developed with regards to engine type, displacement, set up etc.. What would be the best, longest lasting, most bang for the buck motor I could run? I have a GCR hand-book from the SCCA but I am finding it hard to determine the best route to take. All technical help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time.

Regards,

If you really want a bunch of fierce competition without getting your ass waxed by a large majority of the Toyotas, Mazdas, and Nissans, you should look at the HSR 2.0 Challenge series. The rules are pretty simple and they require a treaded tire, but you will be racing against some serious 914s and 911s. Those guys race really hard and it is clean. You will have some great racing and it will probably be less frustrating for a new entry into Club racing. If you are serious about this I would look at buying Blakewell's old car. That car has a Preston built chassis and has been a front runner for many years in GT2. But be warned you will spend a large fortune to compete in the GT classes. A top GT2 competitor listed his championship car for sale at $350K. Good luck. NOt trying to pee in your cheerios, just trying to lay out the facts.

We race a 70 914-6GT 2.0L in PCA and HSR.
We just won the PCA race at Roebling Road the last weekend in GT5R. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)
