I see you were also playing with a gear calculator (I should build a comparison into my chart) — your 1.933 / 1.381 / 1.081 + longer 5th (mine is 0.758, longer still) mix is very similar to the two short-but-not-SCRS-short options I’m scoping out.

I have an email out to Matt Monson @ Guards (provided he doesn’t find this thread) to get his take + also confirm availability.
I think Matt may favor the 2.0:1 2nd gear, and maybe a 1.429 3rd. I could see that being fun, and is probably the direction I'll go with the current build, with a low 4th and 5th as well. It's going to be a more performance focused build with a 2.7 tuned to be a bit more peaky than the 3.2SS.

Here's a video of me winding out the MFI 3.2SS to 7200RPM in 1st-4th. This is a really great 915 with a Wevo gateshift and Motul Motylgear oil.



And here's another one of the 3.2 Carrera, making sure to hit the (stock) limiter in 1st/2nd/3rd. It's a dog compared to the MFI 3.2SS! It's got swepco in it and doesn't shift nearly as well.
