First of all, I will state that I am not a mathematical wizard. From my previous days restoring Datsun Z's, I would use this calculator to get my engine RPM and MPH on a Z-car.
Z Tranny Calc Is there such an animal for the 914? Should be able to plug in the tranny ratios and diff ratio and tire sizes on this one to get approximate results. |

John,
Looks like the same one I just posted. Mine has the gear ratios we tried highlighted. Boxsterfan, Take a look at the scratch sheet. What you want to do is make your percentage changes very even through the gears. We chose to make our 4th to 5th a lower percentage and chose a lower top end gear. This will give you close to redline (5700rpm) at the end of the longest straights on the West Coast (Thunderhill and Laguna Seca). The ratios are perfect for just about every track out here.... Chris BTW. the 22.8" diameter is a 205/50/15 bothe Hoosier and Kumho |
