I ran a 15T, too, and like I said, it looked like it was moving really well, but the same line I would take into the big trip that would put me on the flats with the 12t 5200, would just barely down side the thing for the first few minutes, then towards the end of the pack I was Captain Casey. I could take a wider line to get more run up, and it helped, but it's just not the fastest line.

On the big end, the 15t 4550 actually has more to give, but it just lacks the grunt that the 12t 5200 has.

My truck prolly weighs a half pound more than an SCTE, so that hurts me all the way around. Maybe I need to spends some money on making the thing a little lighter...

Great motor, no complaints on the whole, just didn't work for me.
