QUOTE(TimT @ Mar 22 2003, 06:31 AM) Is 6:29 the stock 914 final drive? the 901 box in my 911 has a 7:31 final drive 914s only came with the 7:31 AFAIK. The 6:29 is the only alternate R&P that I am familiar with for the 901 box. It provides almost 10% increase in rpm at the same speed. That plus shorter tires helps make the stock gears more usable on a racetrack with a stock powerplant. The spread is still just as wide, but the rpms are higher. For SCCA Improved Touring it's the only legal way to get more usable torque to the ground. Tim, are you planning to run at the PCA race at LRP this spring? BTW, I was just teasing in the last post. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Sorry for hijacking the AX thread. Back to the topic. In an AX car the 6:29 might help, not sure. It would mean you have to shift into second as soon as the car is rollling, and shift up to third for any straight section. Second might become just right for the real tight stuff, too. |

Chris I know your were teasing just wanted to use that emoticon at least once LOL
I think my first race this year will be Watkins Glen. Even though the my 914 has a current PCA log book, I want to go over the car and make myself confident that everything is as I would like it. I also am completing my 911 project there arent enough hours in a day it seems. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |

This may not apply to many, but for PCA
AX in our area, NONE of the things mentioned are legal in any stock class. If you do them, you will be in modified, and will be up against people who've done a lot more to their cars. To remain in stock, I've heard of people using the 14x6 (5.5?) Fuchs, and nice low profile tires to get the different 'ratios'. Mark S. '70 914-6 |
