The 917 is my new favorite Porsche. :bounce:

According to Wikipedia:

The 917/30 was the most powerful sports car racer ever built and raced. The 5.374 litre 12 cylinder (90.0 x 70.4 mm) twin-turbocharged engine could produce 1,580 bhp (1,180 kW) in qualifying tune, with twin turbochargers run up to full boost, a simply astonishing 39 psi (2.7 bar), though it usually raced with around 1,100 bhp (820 kW) at 7,800 rpm to preserve the engine. Whilst weighing only in at 1800 lb (816 kg), giving it a power to weight of 1967.36 bhp/tonne in qualifying tune and 1369.68 bhp/tonne in race tune. The 917/30 dominated the Can-Am series during the 1973 season. The 917/30 could go from 0-62 mph (100 km/h) in 1.9 seconds, 0-100 mph (160 km/h) in 3.9 seconds, 0-200 mph (320 km/h) in 10.9 seconds, and on to a top speed of more than 260 mph (420 km/h). These staggering levels of performance, the attendant fuel consumption of the engines, and ever increasing risk, has led to the 917/30 sometimes being cited as the car that killed Can-Am racing.

GOD DAMN THAT IS FAST! Especially for 1973!

Rick's site has the workshop manuals (though missing the all important tech info and service bulletins). PET in pdf format (searchable, but not linked to prices like the version used in dealerships) is a free download from Porsche's website, available for any and every model year. You'll need the 87-91 and 92-95 versions to cover S4 and GTS. http://www.porsche.com/uk/accessoriesan ... catalogue/
