Tell us your ideas for speed

There are many factors that increase speed. Horsepower (Carbs, turbo's, injectors), weight (Carbon Fiber body parts), wheels (weight, diameter), electronics (Ignition, distributors, coils, plugs, wires), lubricants (rumors over certain oil that add HP), exhaust, etc. Though we all want to be the fastest in the block, if you have ideas or suggestions lets see the list.

Cheapest to Expensive options. Normal to Crazy. Simple to Hard

Thats the crazy stuff I'm talking about.

I was thinking we should build virtual engines via this forum in different price ranges with maximized power and components (as mentioned above).

Just an idea to help those out looking for max performance.

We can do Type 1 and Type 4 to start.

Type 1's 1915, 2007 etc. Again something in the range of affordability and drivability with maximum power and components. Also Type 4's.

We need to pick a Type and size and start. Would love to see where we end up. Also see if any body has the Dough to build the virtual engine.

Just thinking out loud.

P.S. It would be a bias choice for me to start with a Type 1 1915cc

hell ya 16v heads i think would really make a type 1 or 4 engine come alive
i've seen a couple diff sites on the net where guys have gone to overhead cams
(porsche 911 heads) required tons of mods but it looked cool 4 valve per cylinder heads and overhead cams could make your powerband very long!!
