i am running a 10.8:1 ross piston, stage 2, x-6 exhaust, etc. and i was wondering what gearing i would it would run best with? i am mainly concerned about top speed. i am now running 15/36 and i am not happy with the top speed. i have shredders that are one inch wider in the front and rear right now so that may be a factor. i am looking for the best top speed with being reasonable. right now i have a 15, 16, 36 and 38 teeth sprockets to play with.

maybe try the 16-38 combo. You will probably lose some bottom end w/ a 16-36 but idk if thats what you want.

Yeah, the only other option you have is putting on that 16 up front which is the biggest you can go and after that would be upsizing your rear tires which I doubt you would want to do. Just curious as to why you want that much top speed?

well, right now my bike has more low end than stock and i am running the 36 rear sprocket. its not that i want to lose a bunch of low end, but where i ride we are always in the upper gears so i don't really care if i sacrafice some low end. this is why i want more speed up top.
