scurr i use 13 tooth with the 1.0 springs so the clutch engages earlier in the rev range on dusty low grip tracks & still have massive top end.
on tracks with good traction i use the 1.1 springs with the clutch shoes reversed for max launch out of the corners.
if your straight is over 40 m long just step up a tooth for every 5m longer the straight is
works for me
if you go to big in the tooth size you will loose punch for short runs to jumps out of corners as well
tyre choice is a big part of the problem as well
just try the softer springs first then the 14 tooth bell

Thanks for that info Magpie, I a just a little confused to when you say "Clutch shoes reversed for max launch out of the corners" not sure what u mean by this, The straight is about 40 meters and i seemed not to be hitting the top end before i needed to break for the corner. The track is a off road dirt track but with some pretty decent jumps just around the corners and some cars i see can clear these so guess i am wanting the same sort of punch (also i think my tyres may of been an issue as it was kicking its butt out on corners) Thanks again
