Similar.... 2180 roller motor with big valves and big ports, 48IDA's, and a just wonderfol intake sound when on the throttle. CHP took exception to the noise. I brought the car by for inspection, showing that I had the absolute quietest exhaust available. "Rev it!" he said. I blipped it. Lumpy idle intake burble on the cams. "REV IT!", so I did. "Sounds worse than our patrol cars!" Ticket dismissed.

My mid-10's quarter mile times pale these days. It was a fun ride from stoplight to stoplight carrying the front wheels, but the $$ in that car would have easily bought another 911. I used it for for weekend parking lot grands prix, with a dune-buggy steering brake. Until I got hooked on Lotii twin-cams. with 40 sidedrafts. And another chapter. I still have suitcase full of Weber tuning bits in the garage, should demand ever rise again. .

I still have my 78' Fiat Spider with a 1.8L "little Hemi". It runs twin Weber 40's and with the cams I have installed, at lower rpm if you give it too much throttle the reversion wets the underside of the hood with gas. (using factory Abarth velocity stacks) The carbs don't smooth out until about 4k but the cams don't really come on until then either, 4.5k to 7.5k is a lot of fun! With 4.56 gears, under 2000# and 13" tires it will flat **** off a lot of V8 cars light to light. And yes, I'm the guy you would see tweaking the carbs at a stoplight. Same thing with Holley's, rebuilt a lot of them in my sleep.

I love Greg's intake, wish he had the time to really develop it properly for the 928 market (which as such would never repay his development costs!). I think ITB's are fantastic but I am a boostard and the airbox scares me away from that. (at least for right now) If there were a boostable higher performance intake available, I would be very interested.
