David,
I plan to be there. Hope we see some more SOC's. I know Will P. is out of town. Maybe Larry B. I don't think there are any other San Diego Speedsters out there, hint hint.

I caught "Cruisin Grand" in Escondido two weekends ago. Our friend with the Porsche 917 (can't remember his name) was there.
Gunna hit "El Cajon Classic Cruise" tomorrow night (my activity to combat wife's Wednesday night out with her girlfriends).

What time does c&c start here in San Diego????
Starts around 7am and crowded by 7:30-7:45. Ends around 9+.

Kevin, I got one of your brochures for "Dyno Day". The brochure makes an offer to dyno my car - three pulls - and weigh my car, then publish the power to weight ratio. The price is very good, but us speedster guys are NOT going to get into your 5 pounds per HP challenge!
Lacking a few modifications, like a blower or turbo, nitrous, and a revised chip, 10 pounds per HP is probably a fantasy for most of us. Probably more like 12 or 15 pounds. So how much of a "razzin" do I want to subject myself to......hmmm .....???

Dave,
You would be surprized what a slightly prepaired VW engine can put out....
Example:
car weight: 1400lbs
Engine hp : 135
==========: 10.3lbs to 1 hp
Not so bad
our 914 with an LS engine
Car weight: 2270
Engine hp : 450
==========: 5.04lbs to 1 hp
The 914 does the 1/8 mile in 8.10 at 92mph
The 356 does the 1/8 mile in 8.90 at 76mph
Horse power to weight is not everything..... only 16 mph and not even a second.... Yes I ran both of these cars, and I drove them like I stold them...... No Mercy!!!

Well Kevin, that is exactly why I'm interested in your Dyno Day. I had my car on JBA's dyno many years ago, so i have a baseline. Since then I have:
Added velocity stacks.
Increased the valve size from 39 & 35.5 to 44 & 40, accompanied by the appropriate valve train changes.
Added a BAS 4-1 merged header with Dynomax muffler.
Rejeted the Webers to this combination.
Unfortunately, when rebuilder ran-in the valve train (fully dressed), he only dynoed it up to 5000 RPM. I wasn't even expecting that, but the resulting graph is WAY better than the baseline. And I know it pulls waaaay past 5000 RPM! So I am sorta hooked to find out more.
