    Chevy did it from the factory in some of their trucks if I remember right, but I don't think any of the LS line of motors work like that. Could just be a small block 350, could be carb'd... I hadn't seen the filter until you guys mentioned something and I just went back and looked.
    For all we know it could be a carb'd 502 making 700+ hp in a 1700-1800 lb car.

    My guess too; most FI configurations wont fit under a top-mount filter.

    I doubt it... Why would anyone go through the hassle of road racing a carb'd engine anymore? Drag racing maybe, but I bet the 914 was fuel injected.

    Dude that 914 was fucking nasty. I think we determined it had an LS1 motor in it.

    yup, a beetle with a different body.

    Although it looks like this one has a little bit bigger motor than stock...

    Also, thanks Alex! I think you know how stoked I am to have the vid up. There's a few places already that I don't like my line.... I swear one of these days I'll nail turn 6 and 8 and I think I need a less aggressive line for the corkscrew

    Yeah..... That thing made an interesting sound when it passed me... It sounded like Satan gargling a hornets nest while railing Angelina Jolie and Pam Anderson from behind... At the same time... Twice.
