I was reading the Excellence article about the budget 912 racer and the owner claims 140hp out of the engine. They didn't talk the about the price of getting that kind of output from 2 liters except that there was alot of head work and special pistons were used. ($$$$) Anybody have an idea of what it costs to get a reliable race motor with that kind of power? And, if you can do it, is it only a track motor or could you autocross it also?

KT yea sorta specific but could be asking the wrong question..."why" a "race" motor when one can get that power from a street engine?? "race" engine is too broad of a term and is often misused |
