So this has been on my mind all year.
Was told to run a 4.5 ratio on a clone un-restricted and drop two teeth for a blue plate class at the same track.
My general thoughts are the restricted plate motor would need less gear to maintain the speed and help drive off the corner. However, I’ve been told by some successful folks that I got it backwards. The plate will need more more gear for the targeted rpm for a plate is less that in restricted.
