Bob-

I figured the P210 would be a pig at high speeds, but I thought the 544 would be more like the 122. Is there something that can be done to the suspension to tighten it up at least to 75mph?

I've got my 122 up to 95 mph once after I put the fuel injection into it, and it had more it could do. It felt fine at that speed.

I don't mind anybody's input. It's fun! When I started my 122 B21/M41 project in '99 (really in '98), there wasn't any information on the internet and I started completely from scratch. The internet has come a long way in 10 years.

I get it from both side too, either the purists wait it completely stock or the performance guys want a turbo (with lots of HP) in it. Somebody over at turbobricks already said that if I want to stick a turbo in it, it's going to be tight.

I know that people have done this conversion in their 544s by pictures I found (mostly HP conversions-not what I'm looking for), at least one that looks close to what I want to do, but no information or good pictures (just the very top of the engine can be seen) on how it was done.
