I'll get to test the HP effect this summer in open road racing, gauging by how easily the car gets to 170.

I've got direct dyno info on everything but the muffer. I might be going in for another session and will remove the rear muffer to test it. None of the RMB promos quote any before and after numbers.

Well Heinrich, you are not alone in your opinion of the stock wheel. I love its function and appearance best of all. I have two of them; one as a spare. I would find a way to install one on my 914/6 if it wasn't an original six.

I also like the look and feel of the stock wheel, everyone can have a MOMO or Grant type wheel. It is something unique and a shame that they had to switch them out to a larger style to hold the airbags. Also a reason I bought the car is the uniqueness of it and the reason I am kepping it mostly stock, but upgrading little things that keep the stock apperance and feel but update the features.
