B.b.p builders Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 If guys that weight 200+ lbs. running drag ported 421's can run 72 ro tires I think my 140lbs. Self on a drag ported 535 should be ok? You don't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.b.p builders Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 I was leaning towards a 17/41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
special06shee Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Redline 10cub 12over arm with +4 chassis. 76ro 14p stg exremes 300' sand track I weigh 185lbs Currently running 16/44. i do think 15/44 or 15/43 might be a bit better for my setup.

No matter how big you think your motor is, reality is, its not. 17/41 is a ton of gear with those big tires imo, Even if you are a light weight.

locogato11283 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 And if your going to be fast at the track ...always bring a hand full of sprocket This. I've got two of every sprocket from 40-44 in my trailer. There's no one set gearing for every track and condition you'll encounter. If you're not willing to buy every size and test and tune with them you aren't going to get very far in the drag world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.b.p builders Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Really? So much to learn!! I bought stock ratio straight cuts. That's one of the things I know for sure, cause I bought them myself new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
