i dont know about the rear but go down one tooth in the front for more low end(good start off the line). but if you want more top end for long distance, go on more tooth on the front.

depends on how long a drag. my advice would to be to drag race anyone you can and pinpoint your weak spots (ie, bad off the line but great towards the end or vice versa)

If you gear more for speed then you will loose some bottom end. If you gear to be better off the line then you will loose top end. You have to find that mid point that works best for you.

if u want a higher top speed, more stretched out gears etc, go with a smaller rear sprocket and larger front sprocket.

im running a 33 tooth rear and a 14 tooth front. this is strictly for top speed, but it accelerates awesome. still wheelies from 3rd and can do it through all gears. :D
although this is with 18 inch tires on rear. im thinking about putting on 22 inchers when i get to the dragstrip so i can get the fastest trap possible...

just rememeber guys, he is running an 05 so his stock gearing is 14/39. going with a larger front or a smaller back with give more top speed. going with a smaller front or a larger back will give more bottom end power.

stock is 14 on the 05. :)



well the gearing will depend on how far you drag race, what size tires you use, what conditions your in. we need to know what you want.
