It would be interesting to start a thread that focuses on the evolution of one's mindset on upgrades to power and reliability in the 914MorphWorld. We all start off with a beater and go in every direction money makes possible.
I am satisfied with the outcome of my upgrade to a 2.2L normally aspirated dual-2 4 from the very sedate 1.7 that unshakably took me to PS, SS, and out of State runs regularly... The change in power, RPM range and delivery of response is very rewarding. Now, after 1K on the new mill, its time to consider what is next. My (30 year old) kid is a Chevelle guy with a beautiful AZ car / 12 bolt main 4 spd 2 bucket 502 SS - he cannot even fathom why I start my car up in the morning. But. Given an unlimited budget and a willingness to exceed it, what is the read out there on a Chevy / Renegade FI LS conversion? I have had all the 911, 993 and 996 stuff I can stomach. I have the brakes and suspension set up on all four corners / the basis of any good power upgrade. Jessie's car at Ruby's on Sunday was an eye opener as to start-up, music in the engine bay, and especially the GITGO! All nightmares and antidotes welcome...
