Seeing how this is my first year in this class and will be my first visit to Road America with the FB can anyone recommend a starting point for gearing?
Thank you.
Gears for Road America
Seeing how this is my first year in this class and will be my first visit to Road America with the FB can anyone recommend a starting point for gearing?
Thank you.
16/47 should work for you.
Gear the thing to be pulling around 12-12,250 going into Canada, T12.
This way you'll have a bit left over if you catch a draft off an Atlantic (not being driven to it's potential)!
It will depend on your rear tire size.
16/47 comes out to about 2.94:1. Seems a little short for Road America. Wouldn't 16/45, or 16/44 be more in the ball park?
Several variables, tire size, max rpm and such but you may find it better to drop 1 or 2 teeth on the rear to 16/46 or 16/45. As stated earlier gear for your entry to turn 12.
