Default Monster 3.8

i was strolling around my local 911 race/service shop and noticed a 964 getting a CF roof, so i asked a little more about it. the owner of the shop said, you should see the engine, so we walked back to the engine room and he unveiled this THING... 3.8 jewel/beast and said it's pumping out somewhere near 380hp. the shop is top tier so even without dyno charts i have no reason to doubt it.

fellas, i soiled myself too when he unwrapped it. loren beggs, design 911. i had the same thoughts with regard to singer...and noah i'd imagine the output is in the neighborhood of your 9M headed jewel. this engine is the full monty and a tad north of 50k...tax, license, and registration. i have to start saving my pennies now. we didn't have time to run through the specs, as it was a quick show and tell. when i take my car in for it's major service, i'll get more info.

Not sure -- but the intake/injectors/throttles on the engine above look identical to the Singer engine...

IIRC i think cosworth closed shop in scal, and singers engines are being built by jae lee in San Diego. however, i'm subject to correction. if others know different, weigh in.
