    I know you are asking for gearing, but if the 18" don't give you the top end then change your gearing from what you had to something that will give you more speed, bigger in front or smaller in back. 18" tires will get you lower so you will be able to run faster around the corners. Change your tires to 18" and experiment with the gearing.
