i was noticing that to get my top speed i was almost out of track and into the corner at my track, this should help alot, do u know of a gearing manual or guide i would love to be able to get a couple sets and kow what type of reaction to look for instead of trying blind.
No, I think that is still to long on 0.8 module for your track, and those are the shortest gearings you'll get with 0.8 module:

20/60 gives you 7.579 final gear ratio on first speed
25/54 gives you 5.457 final gear ratio on second speed

If you go to 1.0 modules, you can get:

15/48 gives you 8.084 final gear ratio on first speed
19/44 gives you 5.850 final gear ratio on second speed

15/47 gives you 7.916 final gear ratio on first speed
19/43 gives you 5.717 final gear ratio on second speed

15/46 gives you 7.747 final gear ratio on first speed
19/42 gives you 5.584 finalgear ratio on second speed

16/48 gives you 7.579 final gear ratio on first speed
20/44 gives you 5.558 final gear ratio on second speed

Right now you have:

16/47 gives you 7.421 final gear ratio on first speed
20/43 gives you 5.432 final gear ratio on second speed

Conclusion: you have 4 shorter gearing combination options on 1.0 modules than what you currently have right now.

Time for experimenting my friend
