Curious about HP possibilities

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Oh, Boy!  If you make it out to Steamboat Springs in february you can  
see der LT1Q there with Peter Golledge at the wheel.  It is not a  
simple bolt-on conversion, let me assure you.  You'll need a flywheel  
adapter plate plus a few other things from Kennedy Engineering,  
Custom fabrication needed to allow for proper cradling of the  
engine.  Then you'll need the corresponding wiring harness and ECU.   
Proper alignment and rear throwout bearing at the flywheel is a must  
(we went through 3 trannies during our trip to and from the Monterey  
Historics (Audi was the featured marque) in 1999.  Man, that beast  
was/is a blast :-D  Went through a few engines, too, before  
everything got sorted out.  Stay away from OptiSpark. See why: http://
