| Post subject: | Gearing Question |
I was practicing at my local track last weekend, and running with a guy with a Sportwerks Mayhem, with the stock sportwerks motor. He was every bit as fast as me on the straightaway, and I am running an O.S. V-spec. (almost brand new). My engine was tuned really well, so i talked to the guy at my LHS and he told me the gearing was low in my XB8. I was running a 13t clutchbell, and 48t spur. I bought the 14t, and just ordered a 15t and 44t spur off amain. Will this help with more top end? What gearing set-ups are you running. The course is a little technical, and I think a little less bottom end will actually help out to stop so much tire spin. |

Since you said your Vspec is almost brand new, then it isn't broken in yet. After you get about 2 gallons and the tight pinch is gone it will really open up on the straights. And don't be afraid to lean the top end to get the RPMs up. |
