my unstable 914.

A reprint:

I could use some input from those who spend some time at 100+
in their 914s. At my first ever track day I found the car really started moving around (I mean REALLY) at these speeds. The back end would just move over a foot or so in both directions

Toe? Aero? I'm clueless. My AX set-up slew em' in the twistys, but gave it back when I had to stop gassing it on the straights.

-2 camber at both ends, 1/16 toe in both ends, 5 deg caster at front, LE spoiler in front, nuthin' in the rear, big stickeys at both ends.

JP,
Check your trailing arms and see if they show marks of binding at the top in the chassis, near the inner mount. I added the reinforcement plates to mine and they binded at low ride height. Snap oversteer is the term. Very unsettling at speed on the track like Mid-Ohio. Raised the ride height and the problem went away.
