Hum.. didnt get the responses from this post until after 3-4 people responded.. anyway.. Dave gave some good numbers.
Summer... I normally shoot for 45/55 Your real close.
Now the reason for 45/55.
I want the car to be balanced under braking (this is when you turn in "correct") With weight transfer... 45/55 works nicely for 4cyl car. Your 6 cyl car could probably stand 40/60 depending on what size torsion bars and what you have your shocks set on (assuming they are adjustable) Soft on the dampen will transfer weight forward a tad faster.
The key to setup is to think past the static settings and compensate for actual running settings. Look closely at a fast AutoX car. The guy's who win Nationals normally have some really jacked up alignment settings and cornerweights.
You can get 50/50 by raising the rear (this is why I use threaded collar spring perches) or dropping the front. I have set cars up with a great balance and watched the lap times go UP and not down. What sometimes happens is: you lower the front so much that the shocks lose their amount of travel and the car begins to "bounce" around the track and make the driver uncomfortable.
Slowly over the years.. I have figured out: setup is 90% what the driver wants and not what the car needs. To go fast, the driver needs to be comfortable driving fast. So.. there is no one setup for the 914's. Its different per driver per car.
