engine I've done 4 La Carreras' with ! Toss on the
blower with an underdrive pulley, make sure it gets
enough oil & DRIVE !
The Clymer manual I was reading last night goes
thru the installation on a completely stock 948. Hp
goes from 43 to 61, and the 0-60 times drop from 21
sec. to 12 ! Curious to see what it'll do to a 1275.
And if it blows, so what, I've got 2 948s just waiting
to be rebuilt.I will wait to put it on however, until
after the Sprite-Mini Challenge is over. Despite it
being a period mod, I'm not quite sure what they'd
think of it.
