I am running the 16T pulleys still and have a FDR of 4.82.
It appears as though after the initial acceleration out od the corner the motor flatlines and runs a constant pace no acceleration. I was watching the TITC vidoes on youtube. It is quite obvious yes that they were running MOD however their cars have "continuous pull" along the straights. Looking at their cars also revealed that the relationship of the pinion and spur gear.

I am running a 93 Spur 47 pinion 64p would it be better running a Bigger spur and a smaller pinion?
We have some huge tracks out here and I have yet to gear a 10.5 past 5.1 You may be over geared. 5.2 is the normal sweet spot for a Novak 10.5 and a LRP speedo.
