Title: 344hp @ wheels, 8500rpm
Post by: Jim Ratto on July 12, 2008, 22:02:04 pm
spent a good morning in cool, foggy Pinole CA at my buddy's shop, Holleran's Performance/Fab, and looked on as he put an original '74 3.0RSR through the wringer on his chassis dyno. Orange, "Jaegermiester" RSR, center lock BBS's, slide-valve, twin plug 3-liter, open stacks, open headers/megs....all as Dr. Porsche intended....   the sound was mind numbing standing next to car at full load @ 8500.....  I'll try to load a pic later

Do you still smell fuel even though you're not there?
