I want a tall closer to 2nd, 1st gear.

How do you like it?
Is it easy to get rolling from a stand still? I'm getting very used to starting in 2nd, so anything has to be better. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

I would think one of these tall gears would be amazing for a/x.

The "C" gear is 10 mph faster than a stock "A" @7k rpm's and the "D" is 14 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif)

I've located two C's and one D so far.
It's the $650-$800 price tag that kills me. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

How often do you shift into 1st during an AX? The cost of the gear and tearing apart the box to put it in, it would have to be a really big improvement to be worth it. Do you have an F or Ga mainshaft?

With a stock box, it's out of the question to downshift back into first. Crunnnnch! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

I run an "F" main, BTW.

With the tall first, I beleive I would have the ability to trip the start lights at a higher speed and actually be able to go back into 1st if a really tight was encountered.

They are out there now and then. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
What I do now, is just fight my way through the tight stuff in 2nd in the low rpm band and then get back on the gas ASAP. I would rather be at 5-7k rpm through the entire course.

This could be the secret weapon I've been searching for. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

My first gear is already gone, so it's coming apart soon anyway. I just need to decide what to do.

Yup, I did some horse-tradin' to get mine, or, well I wouldn't have one... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

I'll ask around out here, no guarantees or anything, but someone might have one they'd let go for a little better price...

I think you would like it, but you might find you want a taller second to go with it. What do you have for second now?

Thanks!

I run an "F" 2nd.
It seems to be pretty good, as a lot of courses are just 2nd gear.
If I set the limiter to 7300rpm's it gets me to just under 60mph.

My 3-4-5 are M-S-X. I'm building the dream box (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

Okay, that'll teach me to leave the computer in the middle of posting... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

A C-F will be really close, but might be just the ticket for a tight AX course.

My box is C-Ga-N-U-Zd. Primarily for street use, maybe a time trial if my resolve weakens...

Mike,

sorry for the hijack trekkor.

I'll keep my eyes open for C's, but have been looking already without luck.
