Yes you did Tim I did the same.

I agree that 15/38 is a good choice for 998's and 999's, but not for 996's. Unlike the other two that have the close-ratio, the 996 has a standard-ratio gearbox that has taller 3rd-6th gears.

A better choice for a 996 is 15/43 (98-links.)

What are the implications of running 14/39 Shazaam? Or even 14/43 ?

Blimey, a 43 on the rear, does that come with sand bags to put over the front wheel? also are we talking large rear sprockets for the track, road or both. Dont know why you need to go that large for the road.
