87 formy vs. 944 from hell
So I'm back again with yet another race that i wanna know what yall think befor i do it.
my formy of course vs. a 1988 porsche 944 turbo s.
stock the 944 in 88 made 243 flywheel horse at 8 lbs.
this is an old family friend that i have owned with slower thirdgens from my past. now he is back with a t3/t4 hybrid turbo ssbov front mount with 3 inch fmic piping. 2 3/4 turbo back exxhaust with hks power muffler. its chipped and tuned for the new turbo and 14 lbs of boost. the engine was rebuilt stock exept the cam is new (i dunno the specs) and the head was ported and polished and match ported plenum. 6 puck clutch and a new 3.55 rear end.
with it having around 210 horse at teh wheels stock and only weighing a bit above 2k this new build is scaring the hell out of me. i think im going to lose anyone agree?
