wanted to ask this the other day...

what kind of speedo are you running with the motor?? if you're running a speedo that's capable of turbo/boost, then you're not going to need a FDR that low...I actually went faster (straightaway speed) going from a 4.7 to 5.0/5.1ish FDR with the boost/turbo feature on my Tekin RS

the last time I ran some gear ratio THAT low, I was running USVTA 4cell/17.5 pre-boost/turbo Tekin RS days...I believe my FDR was around 2.0 - was farily fast, but no bottom-end pickup
