Thanks for the info, guys. I'm at work and can't access the Hostboard site, but will follow up later from home. And because I'm at work, I don't have all the data at my finger tips to tell you just what ratios I can use best. I will be racing the GTI mainly at Thunderhill (
www.thunderhill.com), with a main straight of nearly 3/4 mile.
My Datsun 510 can get to about 105 mph there with a 4:10 rear and 1:1 top gear on 13" 195R60 tires. The GTI has 195R60 tires on the stock 14" "Snowflakes". I am looking for about 100 mph top speed. Using this
RPM/Speed Calculator with the GTI's stock ratios, I get 5000 RPM.
Actually, that looks about right! :twisted:
