You're thinking of it the wrong way around. 16/36 gearing on a 400EX will give it lots of top speed and much longer legs between gears. A 14/39 setup on a 400EX for example would only be suited to hillclimbs and would rev out much too quickly. Remember for top speed (drag racing), you want a higher front sprocket, and a lower rear sprocket.

Drag racing is not all about top speed, its how quick you can get from point A to point B in a straight line. 100 yards is not that long of a drag.

well i don't know about a 400 but on a 300 it works good..also where im at we only run 300ft...drags...its not about top end or we would start out and go til the other ones cant go anymore lol ..not running mile drags

so??????? 16/36? if you go with that you will be slow off the line but after that zooooooom

[HondaR]

you must not drag very much if your behind on the jump you mine as well just stop
