Y'all haven't mentioned it is possible to over gear for the tires you are running. By the way Gnarly, I'm happy to see you back. I remember reading the numbers you supplied for cams over on Pirate when looking for the best cam for me.

Hey Mudder,

Thanks, yeah.. those were interesting days over on the P-site. I got sick of the "F-ing you" retards and the a-hole moderators.

Yeah... sure you can over gear.  You will end up running out RPMs on the top end but have some awesome tree-stump pulling torque on the bottom end!! :gap:

Looking at my gear ratio sheet, you can see that the best R&P choice will give maximize use of your peak torque. The numbers show that you get peak torque numbers 4 times within your RPM range = more power to the tires more often.

Gnarls.
