Just rolled into the driveway from a 70 mile trip back from McMark's Original Customs Shop in Napa... Wow. I left Mark's shop at about 4:30pm so I knew I was going to get some traffic. But magically, it was sporadic and I just cruised. This motor just never ceases to amaze me. 5th gear passes are no problem. The power is everywhere. Not peaky at all. just pulls from the bottom to the top. I love this motor!!!
I think my motor is a similar combo to Dave Hunt. He has Nickies which are actually good for a little power in addition to better cooling. I will be working out some details over the winter which will be small stuff at best. Possibly an external oil cooler. Though, I have to tell you guys this again, this motor runs cooler than my stock 2.0 liter. I strongly recommend the 2270 Raby kit. Build it yourself or have Mark do it. He has a couple of them under his belt now. This is the motor VW-Porsche should have used. |

The few times I've AX'ed my car with my engine I've found myself backwards. It requires one to roll onto the throttle. It's certainly more of a challenge. I've said many times it's more car than I can handle.
Gary Chapman runs a narrow body 3.2 (I think) in Portland and he's given JP a run (beaten him a few times I think). Gary is just plain good and I doubt I'll ever drive near as well as him. More tire would be good but, that isn't in the near future for me. Dave |
