How does that work? They are both the same ratio, (within .01) 3.93 – 3.94With the 15/59, you'll have a slower start, but more speed at the top end
and the 16/63, you'll have a quicker start than the 15/59, but will lose the top end. Flathead8

You have this backwards. With virtually the same ratio, the smaller driver will ALWAYS pull harder and have faster acceleration than the larger driver.

To go faster you need to turn more RPM if the ratios are the same.
For instance.
@6000 RPM with this ratio;
15/59 gets you 49.16MPH
16/63 gets you 49.03MPH
If anything, the bigger gears get you less speed, although I doubt you would see or feel .13 MPH difference.
Don’t take this wrong, it’s a common misunderstanding with a lot of people.
.13 mph is something like 2.5 inches per second. That would be noticeable if you were right behind someone.How does that work? They are both the same ratio, (within .01) 3.93 – 3.94

If you are racing a sprint track with slow corners, they are correct.The people we race with talk about putting a smaller driver gear on to help, but they change the the rear gear to and have the same ratio.
So my question is this, Is a 15/59= 3.93 better then a 16/63=3.93 and if so how/why?
