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 |

After I setup my first close ratio 901, I went to Thunderhill with a KA-Q-V setup. I was running around at redline on the straights watching people pass me.... That was with a 2.0 four @ 6000 RPM. Wanted to avoid that this time if possible!
Sounds like my M-S-X setup will work OK with my current 2.2 four (6500 RPM redline) at the California Speedway Appreciate the input! I am concerned about turns 1 & 2. My car only has the small trunk lip spoiler and starts danc'n @ 110! Sounds like my aerodynamics will be the limiting factor, not my gearset. Going to make some mods being discussed on the "Lifting rear of roof" Thread: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=...=ST&f=2&t=43570 Thanks again for the info!
