After 5 months of busting ass the final prototypes are completed...
In the pics attached you'll see the roller cams and lifters that will help to boost the TIV even higher in 2007 and beyond... In one of them you'll see a roller cam thats only 2 degrees altered from it's flat tappet cousin side by side for comparison- they'll be getting tested the same way- back to back.... The roller cam is also only .010 healthier on lift than the flat tappet, but look at how much of a difference the lobes have.... I posted more pics and text over on my forums, but thought that grant and trekkor would like to see these so they could start their bashing before they were even tested.. They'll need the head start. Attached thumbnail(s)

Jake, I tried to PM you buy it was rejected. Here's what I tried to PM you:
Hey Jake, I have been loosely following some of your posts. You definitely seem to be a pioneer in the development of some good stuff. I am an engineering grad student studying high performance engine design at the University of Central Florida. All I have left to do before I graduate is a research project. I was wondering (hoping) maybe there was something you needed help with. I have access to a dyno, a smoketron and a spintron. The smoketron uses an electric motor to spin an engine to determine parasitic loses. The spintron spins the valve assembly and gives comparitive Hp numbers for different top end configurations. None of these are set up for VW or Porsche engines, but I also have access to a machine shop to fabricate adapters. If you can think of an area that I could help out in, please let me know. I am looking for ideas for my research project, and if it benefits others even better. Free research! I am definitely an air cooled nut and own several early 911's and a 914. My email is bkolar (at) grgce.com. I would also love to be a test mule on one of your engines! BTW, most of our research is catered to various NASCAR teams, so I know all about discretion. Thanks, Brian |
