Zen, you around man????

I literally had the same engine in my 914, and it was very tame in traffic and could be short shifted at 3K with no sweat. Zen's combo has even more low end grunt and when I drove it that was plenty for his bug thats about 600 pounds lighter than my fully trimmed 914....

Just because the engine is more highly tuned and revs higher doesn't mean it lacks anything down low. Thats the nice thing about a TIV- the torque is always there, no matter what. The air speed(velocity) of the head combo i use for this engine is very high, and with the shorter rod and faster piston speed it winds up very nice....

I'll let Zen explain how he drives it and what he likes..

BTW, my newest version of it will top out at around 200 ponies, totally street drivable. It'll be done in about a month..
