John - I was 110% sure I would get a post from you about that.

I wish he was closer, would love to go for a spin. If he gets me, he gets me. No big deal. I won't make excuses.

I guess that depends on the octane of the stuff going down it

yep. it's my 2.7 head currently on my 1989 944. i'm buying a spare 3.0 block and crank to work on so i can have my darton sleeving done without too much down time with my current engine. it shall be fun.

john, how much smaller are the valves on that sledgehammer head compared to the 2.7 head?

oh and jim. There is no shame is loosing to a single turbo supra on race gas.....lol. or pump gas for that matter.

The only thing thats going to run with a big single turbo supra on race gas(in roll terms) is a fighter jet.lol.

your car looks like its going to be a dream. You already have the kind of 951 I myself would like to own.
