dont change anything...it looks like you got it dialed in pretty good you got the hole shot and still had enough top speed to hold anyone off... id keep it like that

it would depend on what motor work you have done too. in my opinion mx sized tires but with higher gearing would be a good setup. if your quad is 04/05 try a 15 tooth front and 38 rear. for 06+ try 14 tooth front and 38 tooth rear

on either you might have to screw around with the rear sprocket size

holeshot makes a 19 inch rear tire... that might be a good choice for you with the gear i sugested

x2 i think the 19's would work well,give more speed then an 18 but wont roll as much as a 20 im guessing..even though they dont roll much haha. i'd probably just run 20's and play with gearing. many more tire selections.

very true, the itp quadcross in the gncc version (20 inch tall) might be a good choice

i'd try stock but if the corners are tight during a race higher gearing might hurt you there but should be ok. just have to experiment, try it with stock first then go from there. what year 450 you looking at? they have different gearing.

the 6+ quads run a one tooth smaller front (counter sprocket)

one rear tooth is not enough to feel the differance in speed but u might feel a slight differnace in how the shift points are

try to get your speed right then focas on the shift points
