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 |

race914,
In answer to your question about gear ratios at CMS, I also run a box with AFMSX ratio's and rear tires with a diameter of 25.6 inches (275/45/16). With this setup I found that I was at redline (7000 rpm) in top gear when I passed start/finish - which is shortly after entering the oval portion of the track. Therefore I had to feather the throttle all the way around the track until getting to turn 3 and the infield. Last time I ran CMS I lossened a flywheel - I think because of having to sit at redline allthe way around the oval. If you are running huge diameter tires or are going to spin your engine to 8000+ rpm, this is what you can expect. I am not going to run CMS anymore unless I get my spare transmission built with a Y 5th gear. Steve |
