CRidin · 05-19-2008, 12:54 AM

I have a 40 tooth layin around and am trying to decide if its worth trying it. Anyone tryed this? If so what was the result? Was is gutless on the bottom end?

Runnin a 39 currently and it seems just right for my Viva which has a lower geared tranny than most of the 200's.

I can go up main street at 25mph in 5th without it complaining. :wink:

C,
It really depends on your weight and how beat your clutch may be, I've ran 42 and 38, 42 still has some low end, 38 is for street, guess you'd be right in the middle, those gears are gonna be mostly street though unless you dont weigh much...
