Randy,

I'm running the RS Pro and Redline 13.5 in 1/10 TC on a indoor track 20x10m (65x33 feet), 10.5 sec lap times.

I was running v198 with Boost 30 and Ratio 6.34. Which was OK. I find though that if I take the ratio lower, to say 5.4 I get alot more rip out of the corners still with reasonable straight speed (adjusting boost to 15 to compensate).

When I go for max boost and gearing to suit the car feels very soft on power but the laptimes stay the same because I've got a bit more top end I think.

I tried a few laps on v200 last weekend setup as you suggested, Gear ratio up (by close as I could get to 14%) to 6.97, Boost at 20 and Turbo at 20. Car still felt very soft on punch, reasonable onto the straight and second gear kicked in just as I got to the sweeper off the straight.

I'm trying to get my head around a few things.
1) does more Boost reduce torque on the infield?
2) For my application should I keep the gear ratio lower for infield punch and rely on Turbo to give straight speed?
3) is there any way you can reduce Turbo delay from 0.5sec? That delay kicks in far too late on the indoor tracks where I race! I'd like to try 0.3-0.4 sec.

Thanks,
Chris.
