Ya I'm a fan of launching in 2nd gear, 1st always seems too short, and 3rd seems to pull really really hard so bypassing 1st just works good. I'm runnin 13,42 gearing right now and I maaay leave that on there just to try it out with the 22's since it seems to work well with 20"ers on stock motor. I'll take a few other sprockets in case I need to switch it up some.
And yes, lighter is better :biggrin:
