And if your overall diameter is already smaller, you've geared up the car anyways.


If you want to gear up, maybe 3.9's?

Good point. Will think about that at Button Willow this weekend and see how often I am revved out before the end of a straight. I figured 4.08 would be good on tracks like Big Willow, and probably AAA, would force a shift on the long straight after the hairpin, but might be better coming back onto the main straight after the esses.
