Use the data logger. I've been finding so many guys overgeared trying to get speed that they're bogging the whole car down....I know it can sound crazy at first but the acceleration "curve" with the super tall gearing is a goof up. REALLY review that data log How to we posted.

Mid motor cars also have more drag and drivetrain wrap to push with the 2nd gear and all the weight....

I did not have a 71 spur so I went with 72 30. Car came off the track at 180 using a temp gun on the can. Data logger had it at 217. Changed gearing to 76 28 next round. Came off at 154 temp gun on can 179 on data logger. Should I be using outer can temp or data logger temp for getting it setup? I have heard both ways.
