Speaking of 16v, what were the final results from you 3.1l 16v on the dyno Chris? I only remember the initial dyno thread from a few years back where you had a dry sump pump issue.

I like a lot of data, so starting with stock cams and making changes gives me the info on how much improvement is being gained with each change. It takes more time but in the end you know how much you get for each change.
Cam swaps are not much fun on an 8v but with the 16v you can swap out cams while the engine is still on the dyno (the twin cam drive helps too – cam change in under 10 minutes)

Here is a clue as to the path that the engine is following….hopefully a winter build if I can finish up this part of the project:

It is the best way to caputure detail. Overlay it with the actual model and you can work on wall thickness. Otherwise, you will have 3" thick walls for no reason.
IMHO, To build a billet version of the stock block, even with mods(and I don't even need to know them) is the biggest waste of money I can ever think of.. but, what ever floats your boat. The original design of the block/head combo is horrible for big HP and that is the end of it. No smoke and mirrors, nothing. Waste of time.
I hope you drew a head with HG, bolted it to the block and stressed the hell out of it before you buy a $4K block of tin cans..

so the first doom car was a 3.6 968 based engine? was it a stock block or billet? it looks like his 4,000hp drag car is a billet copy of a 944/968 block...
it seems some people say that the first doom was a 911 engine then the rest of the doom cars were 968....
can anyone confirm?
