Some people think since they have a mod motor they can gear them really high, but they're wrong. If you're going to do some street bashing and want some top speed I would gear it so your final outdrive ratio is 6 or higher, but if you're racing on a tight track I would go with 7.5 or higher.

14T around 7.5 OGR
13T around 7.8 OGR
I'd say don't go lower then 7 but it really depends on how often you want to cut the comm.
