What gearing

[sandgrencivic2k1]

I recently got a 472 powervalve cheetah. I am currently running a 20x10x10 10 paddle hauler extreme. My gearing currently is 14:41. I cant decide on whether or not to run this gearing or go to a 15:41 with the tires I'm running.

 

I want to do some hill drag racing and some playing. Most of my mods are listed below.

 

Let me know, any advice would be appreciated.

if you can grab 6th and not have it peter out id say stock is cool, if your motor has the balls and you stretch 6th.................. gear it taller

Do you guys think with the stock gearing it will pull sand mountain, nevada in 6th gear? I was thinking only 5th.

My 421 cheetah PV pulls fifth no problem with 14/42 gearing.

I actually run out of room to go to 6th gear.It's still pulling in fifth gear.I'm running 22 inch paddles.

So what would you recommend since I am only running 20" tires? Think I should keep it stock 14/41 or go to a 15/41?

You should be able to run either one,It will be quicker with the 14 front.With the 15 front you wont have to shift as much.
