Was hoping one, looks like two...might end up being three
There's also non 928 transportation 
The Pacific NW seems to be the 928 worlds best kept secret! ...OOOPS!!
We just wanted to get closer to where the real 928 action is!

The roads have potholes full of pickup trucks that couldn't make it through. Definitely, no one come. You will be heading back in about 2 weeks.

It's about time for those Wisconsin boys to unveil their projects...
I want to see the horsepower wars begin again!
Throw in John's TTs4, and it could be an interesting year...

Louie sugar coated it. This place sucks! 300 straight days of rain and counting

Louis,
I designed your and modified yourheads and they are the same as Dons....H has my larger TBs, and Ti rods, but otherwise, I built your engines are the same!
I estimate 550-575 rwhp

You are raising the bar here. Now, I'll have to produce!

What interested me were the papers describing the use of the software, especially the Ferrari V8, and also the QOHC V6 paper.

That's amazing! I have an ear-to-ear grin just thinking about your car running.... I can't imagine what you must have felt when the car cranked over just fine. We need to know when the first appearance will be. Hopefully the next Devek event? I'll ride up there just to see it!

Holy freakin' valvetrain science - thanks for the link. Good reading for the mech/techno-nerds like myself.
Oh, and nice work Louie. I'm betting that the dyno results (once tuned) will be eye-popping...

Damn Lou...
If I had the cash...
What do you think about an MID & sleeved block with even MORE displacement, 9:1, and say... a mere 10psi? If we're projecting big numbers here, why not go fantasy football with it, right?
Heads being a big limiting factor at that level (can't fit big enough valves), and your transmission unbolting itself and Kool-Aiding itself through the garage door in "shear" fear
Really, REALLY quality work you have there. I think you just might surprise yourself with the dyno results on this one... Completely jealous of the DTA & wasted spark!

The entire drivetrain is the limiting factor so not much point in getting too crazy with big power. I guess the drive train could all be changed out to solid rear axle, bolt a strong tranny to the back of the engine, or something. Don't be too jealous of the DTA just yet. It's a real bear to get programmed and running. The ease of setting the map has lots of places for improvement. Compared to how John Speake has his Sharktuner easy to tune, the DTA is stone age. One problem with an ECU with lots of options is that you have to configure everything. Just getting the closed loop O2 to work where I can have semi automated mixture control has, so far, eluded me. After several hours, I do have it running pretty good at no load up to 3000 rpm. Still a lot of work to get reliable starts both cold and hot and all temps in between. Fun stuff.
