Engine Configuration -- Hi HP motor, based on 3.0 liter -6 case Options

[nine14cats]

From previous threads and personal experience I now have a better understanding of the following:

2.7 High Compression track motor with 40 IDA Webers (inside our first 914-6)

3.2 Stock DME transplant (from previous thread here at 914Club)

3.6 993 motor with stock DME (inside Fritz, our current track car)

I would like engine configurations (comp ratio, carb sizes, cams, etc) for a 3.0 liter case motor. I am still looking at what to build for "The Beast". I can run 100+ octane race gas as this is a track only teener. I prefer injection, but carbs maybe the only way to get it on the road cost wise. I currently have a set of Weber 40's on my bench. I want a 200 hour motor if possible.

I am planning on running a 901 box behind any of the above configs except for the 3.6 if I go that route again.

What configurations and what HP can I achieve with a 3.0 case? I am open to bigger jugs..... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

Thanks for the help!

I never even asked..
I'm guessing crank.

I'm sure other things factor in (torque, length of race, etc)
but I asked one time why so many of his customers were selling used race 901's, and was told that the shop had learned from experience they had to convert all of their cars at 250hp in order to save money.

Shop owner personally runs a 2.2/4 with a 901 and the secret F=1st gear. I think he said the 4 is 205hp and lots of torque and when he discussed the 1st gear mod for my box, he said that he hasn't opened his own in 3 years.
In fact he said that his own was the prototype and he didn't know if it would last a day or a month. I only mention this because, his 4 would likely have alot more torque than some of the -6 motors, yet he is having no problems with it. He won't install the 1st gear trick over 200hp, but appearantly that rule isn't torque dependant.

Sorry for the terrible hi-jack.
I think you can build some really cool 3.0L
I just know If I was doing the same project, I'd want to consider reliability too.

It stops becoming fun real quick when you sink a ton of $ into a race car and end up having to quit the weekend early!
