Good starting point you'll probably find you'll add to rear a little, but that's good don't wanta start gear bound, I'd start 15 /61 to be safe, then if I ended up higher than 62 rear I'd drop front driver to a 14 with 4 less on rear. Now if this track will be for daytime racing and prepped properly with calcium making a lot more grip then you will start even lower rear.New track opening here. Haven't been on it yet. Believe it is going to be fast. It is a tricky over with good banking. Owner said it measured 630' around center of the track. I have put a 15/62 on. Any suggestions.
Since this must be directed at me since I have the only response post, No where did I say lower or higher RATIO or when speaking gearing do I ever state it that way, I state lower rear or higher rear to help eliminate any confusion, go lower number on rear or higher number on rear ( pretty simple ) and if there not sure they will confirm, if in deed they are newcomers, by the way there are a lot of guy's that ask gearing questions that are far from newcomers, So the way I look at it the answer to your point would be " NO " they would not understand it better with your substitute.I was just thinking, newcomers sometimes get a little confused when we say "lower" or "higher" gear ratio. I wonder if we substituted "lower" with "bigger", would they better understand what we're talking about?
My goodness gracious, throwing a hissy fit because I made a suggestion!!Since this must be directed at me since I have the only response post, No where did I say lower or higher RATIO or when speaking gearing do I ever state it that way, I state lower rear or higher rear to help eliminate any confusion, go lower number on rear or higher number on rear ( pretty simple ) and if there not sure they will confirm, if in deed they are newcomers, by the way there are a lot of guy's that ask gearing questions that are far from newcomers, So the way I look at it the answer to your point would be " NO " they would not understand it better with your substitute.
If your really worried about eliminating confusion, "that answer is simple" QUIT posting on threads you know nothing or very little about.
No problem IF you have accurate info in your post, or a legit question !!My goodness gracious, throwing a hissy fit because I made a suggestion!!
Honest question; how will I know either? To the best of my knowledge,No problem IF you have accurate info in your post, or a legit question !!
In this case it would of been easy, proof read your post, and re read what your responding to, as I pointed out I NEVER said higher or lower RATIO, had I then I would of responded you had a good point !! OR If there would of been multiple post by different people I would not have posted the same back to you, BUT there wasn't so I knew you were directing your response to my post, which is fine JUST GET IT RIGHT !!Honest question; how will I know either? To the best of my knowledge,
To the best of my knowledge (how would I know?) I have never asked an illegitimate question or passed on inaccurate information. I know, or I think I know, what I say. Will I be held to a higher standard than every other poster on this web site? Not trying to be argumentative, just asking questions and stating facts, of course in my opinion.
Maybe if you could explain to me where I was going wrong?
Not when there were no other post !!I reread my post, it was not addressed to you, I did not mention your name. I admit it did follow your post, but that happens a lot............. with everybody. It was only a suggestion at large!
I will remain cautious and try not to make random posts.
Has nothing to do with expressing your opinion, or posting that's your privilege, just stop trolling certain threads only to be argumentative .I'll do anything required to stay on Bob's, I'll stop expressing my opinions and I'll stop answering questions with inaccurate information.
If this is true then I have an idea for you to think about in those cases in the future, when it's just a random thought just start a new thread of your own to do so, that way you can't misquote someone, or come off just posting to be argumentive. That for sure would of avoided any confusion here.I reread my post, it was not addressed to you, I did not mention your name.

Got ya wasn't sure on that part.My go as big as you can was referencing the driver not the rear gear.
Thanks for your thoughts.
i allways heard about gear bound, what exactly is thatGood starting point you'll probably find you'll add to rear a little, but that's good don't wanta start gear bound, I'd start 15 /61 to be safe, then if I ended up higher than 62 rear I'd drop front driver to a 14 with 4 less on rear.

Simplest answer is when the gearing combo you choose is trying to turn way more RPMS than the engine will turn, an example would be your at a fifth mile momentum track with a clone targeting 6800 rpm and a 16 /60 is perfect gearing combo and you started on a 16 / 66 rpms were low, so you chase it even more and go 68 rear, that's gear bound think of it as your engine is running with it's tonge hanging out the entire race lol. !!i allways heard about gear bound, what exactly is that
