[QUOTE=Cain;9436662]Where are you topping out at down the longest straight? After talking with the Late Big Jim, one of the premier motor guys of his time, he advised me to always start my gearing to top out towards the end of the longest straight, then adjust it from there. Based on his suggestions, I have never overheated a motor since. Give it a try (assuming all else is fine with the vehicle)

It tops out right around the first 1/3rd to the middle of the straight and I have a ton of accelleration out of the corners. I'm gonaa try going 14/62 and see how that goes.
