New AA catalog has a "fuel injection competition kit"

http://autoatlanta.com/model/914-0704/Sec2/914-page034.html


claiming a 35HP increase with no other engine modifications noted.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

How can just replacing the injection give this much more power to a otherwise stock type 4?

I just spent lots of time and some $$ to get 15-20 hp out of my 2056 with lots of other associated tweeks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

this is not a flame job, I just don't get it.

Lets talk about this from a business perspective.

Who has a catalog dedicated to JUST 914's.
Who has been selling this stuff for JUST 914 for years?

I think you guys need something better to talk about.
George got on here, cleaned up his reputation as a result.
All you are doing is just looking for a reason to give George shit.

If you dont want to do business with a vendor, then dont.
But please, dont start threads just to rag on a vendor.

If that is the common reason for this forum, I have a long list of issues with vendors.
Lets talk about who of all the vendors we know has parts on the shelf.
Real parts, on the shelf.

Who has a person that answers the phone and actually knows what a 914 is?
How about the difference between D-jet and L-jet???

Geez, this is the one single vendor that has stuck with the 914, even though everyone rags on him.

PP makes more money on BMW...think they have employees that love 914 anymore?? doubt it.

The vendor list is not growing guys, its shrinking...the market for these cars is shrinking.

Stop trying to find a reason to beat up George, its childish.

Sir Andy, I asked for proof and got a long lecture that I tuned out after the line "well son...."
