I was actually thinking of going back to 3:15 gears for my 98". It pulls so hard and revs so fast that I think it might be quicker if I can stay in the meat longer between shifts.

One of the main things I don't like about the 3:15 gears though, is that at 25 MPH, 35 MPH, and 45 MPH it feels as though I'm either too high or too low in rpm, depending on what gear I am in.

For example, at 35 MPH 2nd is too high, but 3rd feels like it is lugging.
With the 3:37 gears, at those speeds it feels goods cruising.

Yes claybal, It was still pulling when the rev limiter kicked in at 6,300. He is so busy when he is at these rallies that i didnt want anymore. So i said nothing. The dang motor just in the seat of my pants still feels to out pull the ole RP motor. Just looking at the graphs it shows close to the same in graph lines but the numbers dont match. As i said the rp motor with the 3:37 gearing and the Hp/rr motor with the 3:15 gearing go figure that lol.thanks again. booggerbe
