« on: September 19, 2009, 01:26:39 PM »
i finally went 9.00 last night and was wondering what kind of advice gearing wise or otherwise you big guys think will help me get into the 8's

gearing is 17/44 and im at about 66'' wb

goes through the traps at the top of fourth.

also what kind of shock settings do you guys go with? i have it pretty soft but not all the way.

i'm 200 unsuited, running 16/46 making 180 hp on motor. Traps top of 5th with a 9.05. You should at least be trapping top of 5th gear in 1/4.
