I was wondering if any of you serious autocrossers have considered changing out the R&P? It seems like it would make a huge difference in how the car accelerates out of the tight bits.
The PO of my car was going to build it as an autox car, and bought a brand new Porsche ring and pinion set, in 6/29 ratio. I don't need it and was thinking someone may be interested? Bill |

It has value in SCCA Improved Touring where gear changes are not allowed but R&P changes are allowed.
The stock gears are too tall for racing, even with a low rpm engine like stock. The short R&P gives a roughly 10% rpm increase at any given speed. |
