I'm curious what track conditions you guys are racing in to have to gear the motor that hard. I got 130-150 degree temps out of the motor running the same ratio I'd use on a CO27 stocker. Track temp was 120, running Sorex 36 rubber on a medium technical asphalt circuit.
To give you an idea, most guys running the 5.5 Systems ran at 14/87

this motor is freakin' fast! runnin' it with 112/35 and the motor is not even hot just warm so, I guess i could gear up more for top end with that kind of track.. whatcha think?
