I have a 74 914 tub converted to a track car. Sheridan body kit, 3.6 varioram motor, 915 tranny(which I hate and may convert to G50), 935 front suspension, 944 turbo brakes, bilstein coil overs. On flat straightaways, it's debating which tire to follow and darts left and right, as if there is a strong cross wind. Had it re-aligned as follows; scale, L/F 497. R/F 458, L/RR 638, R/RR 590. Camber : L/F 3.5. R/F 3.6. L/RR 1.8. R/RR 2.0. Toe: L/R front 0, L/RR 1.5. R/RR 1.5. It's still "debating" at speed, which is very unnerving going into turn one at BIR. The questions are; is the alignment the problem or do I need some downforce via a wing? Appreciate any insight. This is my first visit to this forum. Thanks in advance.
