calling v8 powered racers, looking for a little guidance Options

[returf]

I know there are a few of us with v8 powered 914 racers so I will put this to you for any info you may be able to help me with. With my first test sessions, I felt as if the rear of the car wanted to come around on light throttle through transition in corners. I have toe in on the rear and toe out (1mm total) on the front. Great turn in. My track was 90 mm wider at the front than the rear so thinking this was contributing, I modified the front suspension today to narrow the front track and are now sitting 30mm narrower at the front than the rear. I'd be interested to hear from others as to their set-ups. ( if its a real secret you can PM me haha. Any help from guys with a similar setup would be appreciated

What have you done to stiffen the chassis?From new the car was noted by many testers as a flexiflyer.
The loads are now greater and the original floorpan allows the front and rear to flex relative to each other in a larger magnitude.
As a racer,no doubt you have installed a rollbar that may have firmed the torsional resistance to some degree.
The measurement of the torque needed to deflect the spring perches is a good first step.
Loosy-goosy will have the 914 squirming around the track and exhibiting the bad habits many here have experienced too.
How stiff?Enough to have control and no more.Then you can win.

As a racer,you have no constraints as to how robust the longs are and how many crossmembers the floorpan has.
Have fun.Have a moment of inertia.
