For circuit use I'd be using a 3.4 with that size motor.

It's not turbo though Will. Is 7 Port N/A 300degree cam. 4-7500rpm power band. Plus the Dogbox gearing will need at least a 3.7 to pull off the line. Edited by alaskanow0 on 5th Mar, 2016. Class C 3rd Place Avon 2011 14.18 @101mph |

I'm sure your calcs will be better than mine but if I remember correct my 3.7 was way too short , I was going over the line at York drag way on the rev limiter at 7k at 93-94 mph !! That was on 12" wheels |

My 1380 miglia spec engine was about 95mph at 7k on 10's and that had a 4.2FD but it revved to 8.5k.

Well a diff isn't that difficult to change. So if you go with the 3.7 then you'll be able to gauge it eitehr way and only need to change it once.

At least with the 3.7 you could go hillclimbing as well.. Sorry ignore my ignorance why a 3.7 for hill climbing? Edited by alaskanow0 on 6th Mar, 2016. Class C 3rd Place Avon 2011 14.18 @101mph |

The 3.4 would be too tall for hillclimbing, especially as you need to do an emergency start every run. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

Thanks guys. I guess the real question should have been 'what speed can you get up to on a track day' and I guess the answer is depending on which track.

Low 14 at best? Hadnt this car in heavier mode already done that n/a? Yes 13.91 at 560kg, but that was using nitrous. It only managed a 14.6 without. I don't fancy running nitrous again after it killed my engine on the Sunday at Shakedphere after a 60bhp shot trying to beat Rich1380 for 2nd place. Class C 3rd Place Avon 2011 14.18 @101mph |

A 13sec quarter from a NA is a major challenge. There's only Paul W & Rich1380 done it without cheating gas I think. Class C 3rd Place Avon 2011 14.18 @101mph |

How about a 3.7 and a set of MS SC drop gears? Then a simple swap of primary gear you can effectively change your diff ratio between 3,6 ; 3,7 ; 3,9 |
