Last weekend a number of local 914 owners attended and participated in the St. John's Grand Prix
St. Johns is a small town in the NE corner of Arizona. Every Labor Day weekend, they close down the airport and open it up to DE and race events. In the formula class there was a Super V running a Type IV that had been de-stroked to 1.6L. It had a low throaty grunt that sounded pretty good. Anyone her run Super V? If so, did you use a Type IV?

if they were legal SVs they did not have 200 hp. They would make 150 to 170 hp at best. I wrenched EFR's championship car in 1975 and Howdy Holmes in 1976.

QUOTE(bernbomb914 @ Sep 6 2006, 10:59 PM)  if they were legal SVs they did not have 200 hp. They would make 150 to 170 hp at best. I wrenched EFR's championship car in 1975 and Howdy Holmes in 1976. Bernie Thomas I think my vintage group allows them to do a pretty big overbore... (2.0? maybe) I'd have to check further. I had it in my head that some where that much HP, but could definitely be wrong on that.... they are still scarry fasts.... Bernie, what is the class weight in their day? we had a guy this year that stuffed a T4 SV motor into his FV and ran exhibition. wow.. that was fun to watch! He could literally light up the FV slicks at will. He was horsing around and left 30ft of rubber out of EVERY SINGLE CORNER on every single lap for fun.... talk about throttle steer on track out... wow... Greg, is brian's car carbed then? I thought for some reason he might have the AJRS custom electromotive F.I. on that puppy..... Brian, you might want to consider the LC-1 WB... I couldn't believe how it helped with jetting at my last event.. think portable dyno! brant |
