The progress of my Type 4 will hinge on heads and exhaust.

I hope to get there. It would be great to have a strong Type IV showing in 2008, mine was the only one to dyno last year, I think....

Nigel, what power did you put down?
If there is a strong T4 showing, I MAY convert.

drivablity is the biggest reason to convert. after nigel drove my car at bug-a-palooza the first thing he said was it seemed like forever b4 the thing wanted to go. btw that was the 2275's last drive b4 it got on a boat to the land down under.movin on to bigger and better things. its all about the torque.

Pete,
If I remember correctly it did 128HP at the wheels. It is the same car and engine that I drove to Savannah from Atlanta and back (250 miles each way) without missing a beat in 90+ degree heat. This is with a 2270 built in 2002 with 8.5:1 CR. Laz brings up a good point - it is very driveable - it can do 30 in 4th and then keeps pulling until you let off.

i plan on making it Saturday if i get a few things done to the car. i'll only be hanging the one day though.
i need to look up the date, but plan on hitting the GT car show again this spring. the last one was great.

Surgery recovery is taking longer than I expected, but I'm hoping to still tackle my electrical woes by next weekend and have the bug at Dyno Day.
The GT show is end of March. I'd love to see some regional GLs there. Details here: http://www.gatechautoshow.com/
