Yes...getting it to hook with 30 series street tires is not easy. The above 60 foot time was my best ever and usually run 2.0-2.1 seconds (not so good!) Once I get to the 1/8 mile...I cram it in third gear and watch the tach and the speedometer sing away. It will do 140mph in 3rd gear @ 7000 RPM. I've had it in upper reaches of 4th gear @ 175mph on the freeway...but that gets me a little nervous. LOL. It's rear wheel drive.The gearbox is a highly modified 930turbo 4spd (60mph in 1st, 100mph in 2nd, 140mph in 3rd & 190mph+ in 4th. It is strictly made for the big roadcourse tracks and I occasionally bring it to the strip to see how it does in the 1/4 mile. It's been alot of fun to say the least. It weighs 2500lbs.

Cool swap!
Do you road race it (as in on track)?
High speed auto-crosses are a blast and relatively safe.
It would be like a 4 hour drive, but you should come run Blackhawk Farms next sat!

Very cool, nice job with the headers!
__________________
Thanks, the headers were a real challenge to fabricate. They required all the patience and skill I could muster. After 4 years, they have held up quite well...no cracks or leaks of any kind. I am now considering making a new set of 1 7/8" headers... Thanks for all the nice comments guys! I frequent this site often to keep my LS knowledge up to par. I am very seriously considering doing a 100 shot of nitrous so I can easily run into the 10's on the strip and hold off the Carrera GT's on the BIR 1 mile straight. LOL

Dude you are giving me some hope at running some killer mph in the 1/4. Love the conversion you made. Been watching it. A 914 was a consideration for me, but did a miata. I need a tune badly and have one isssue to fix and then toi the track I go. I am at a 2650lb weight right now and with driver 2830lbs. I just added a Fast90/90 and a larger cam. Old power was 448/442rwhp/tq. Looking for 470rwhp and a 130mph plus trap speed!!!
