just wondering what or if anyone is running for gears on a 450R im gonna be ging to the local drag track and just want to mess around a bit but dont know what sort of gearing i would need last time i went I just had stockgearing and I ran like 5.4 at 58mph in the 300ft but i know i can go faster i need to turn more rpm in my lower gears it just seemed like the stock gearing i had to wind 1 thru 3 out so any help would be appreciated

with my 400 i ran a 6.4 a couple weekends ago, but that was my first time racin. I know i can do much better. Im gonna be building a wheelie bar, because, i had to slowly let the clutch out in second, while on about 3/4 throttle or my front end would lift up. I also had my airbox lid on, next time i go, im gonna let air outta my tires ( at about 6psi now) and take the lid off my airbox and practice my starts. Reaction time is real important if u want a fast time, im not that good at it yet, my best was like a .780. I run 14 front tooth (stock is 15) but i also have 22 inch rear tires (stock are 20)...and it seems like a good combo so far, for me atleast. Even tho it is a 400ex. Im gonna buy some pro wedge II rear tires instead of my holeshots.

You should probably go down a tooth in the front

I went to the dirt track earlier today,and my best time was 5.1.I weigh about 150,im running a 39 rear,with a 13 up front.Im ruing 22's on the rear,some pro wedges(for sale).The only thing that kept me from running a better time was it came up with me,all I have is a +4 swinger.And my best reaction time was .595,the best if sometin like 4.0 i beleive??.

A front end lowering kit that's a quick easy bolt on would lower your front end too.. should help keep you from wheelieing. Could cause too much wheel spin though. Lowering rear tire pressure could help that.

Do you actually own a TOTALLY drag race ready blaster??..or are you just talking what you think you know??,And who said anything about running 4.0,if you didtn read what I said,it sas reaction time,if you know wha that means.

And I hoenstly dotncare if someone LIKE YOU beleives me or not.
