This is for you Tucker! Pikes Peak Int'l Raceway is a roval with a small, flat, very slippery infield.

Here's a few laps of me going around, car is making 373rwhp with about the same in torque.

Hey, how do you embed a video into a post here? I can't get it to work, I can only figure out how to link to it...

There is no way to embed video on this site, link only.

I swear to Marinara that if my bent-4 ever goes boom, my 944 is getting an LS1 swap. Frakking awesome!

Nice video doc - looking forward to taking mine to VIR. While autocross is fun, I'd really like to see how fast mine really is.

I bought this car thinking it would be cool to put an LS1 in it someday and unfortunately that "some day" came way too quickly as I discovered the bottom end was bad and wasn't caught by the shop that did the PPI.

The car runs great, sounds awesome and makes very good, reliable power.

I hope to get more video in about a month when I hit another local track.

Did you weigh both power trains?

How does the wt. feel?

Looks like big fun!

Nope, but I've weighed the car before and after the swap and it essentially gained no weight.

You can't feel that it's any different than stock. Handles and brakes fine.

Looks like fun! All that power scared the cone into passing out at 0:54 ;)
