For what it's worth, so far (after only 50 sorting miles) the Jake Raby-built, 120-hp 1914 in my Spyder feels like a perfect match to the chassis weight and stiffness. And the 3.44 R&P with stock Beetle gears are spaced very nicely—and very close to what original Spyders had.

This setup gets to 60mph in about 6 seconds and should reach 100mph in 3rd gear.

However, my advocacy of this combo puts me very much in the minority of Spyder owners. Most want nothing but more, more, more!
