Hi everyone! I'm proud to say that I will taking delivery of a good looking 914 this upcoming month and have been doing some research on getting more Hp out of the Type 4.
My 914 has a 1.7 so I'm looking to do a stroker to get around 150-180ish HP and I'd probably go with dual Carbs vs FI I would love some advice on stroker kits/ cams and lifter suggestions to make this possible. I've seen Rabys kit, AA kits etc..., but I'm looking to do the build myself and send the case and heads to get machined. This would be my first engine build so I'm getting excited. I do have Shop experience working as a service tech. Any tips and advice on this would be greatly appreciated. Attached thumbnail(s)
