How far are you racing? Without an override, in 300 ft its hard to get through all the gears, regardless of gearing, imo. I barely got into 5th gear without an override, but wound it out in 5th with an override with the same gearing. I'd gear it to the about the highest that you can, and still leave in 2nd easily. Then work on keeping it in peak power all the way down the track. You'll probably end up with around stock (14/41), or maybe 15/42 or so.
Also, don't forget those pro wedges/4 snows grow a lot on the other end. Good luck.
