Would love to hear the different theories on gearing.
Son is racing Briggs Jr at GoPro. Right now he's running 17/56 (3.29) and seems about right. My question is would you pick up more top speed at the end of the straight with a 18/59 (3.28) but sacrifice some bottom end coming onto the straight? I know there's a .01 difference in the ratio which would indicate a higher top speed anyway but I'm thinking an apples to apples comparison. What if the 17/56 & 18/59 netted the same ratio. What would the difference in performance be?
Thanks for being kind to my first post
