I just received an announcement on our local PCA email list regarding the PCA Speed Festival at California Speedway this March:
http://www.pca.org/zone8/Z8SFest.htm I've never run this track, and by the map http://www.californiaspeedway.com/uploads/..._coursemaps.pdf it looks like my 901 M-S-X setup, which works great at Laguna Seca, is going to top out pretty early. Can anyone share their 914 experience on this track, top speed, and a recommended gear setup? Thanks, Greg |

Since I put in the 2L six I went to K-Q-V and the car tops out at about 135 at 7400 RPM as the lower torque six could not wind up well. The original box I had (still for sale) with M-S-X worked great for a stroker four and would top out at about 6500 RPM. Depends on what engine you have I'd say. The CA Speedway at 135 in a 914 with no wings or large spoilers is pretty exciting rounding turns 1 and 2 with your foot to the floor.
