Chris
Gearing was to achieve the overall ratio as per instructions, i think it was around 13.xxx something. I read the manula and used the online gear chart to calculate. The speedo and motor ran quite cool as well. Both Myself and craig had a temp gun on it last week to make sure it was ok.

The motor itself, i find smoother to drive than the 5.5 that i ran in the zx5, its not really masses more powerful, but yes it is quicker and it runs cooler. This motor is only for use @ southport and any longish tracks that id like to attend over summer, the 5.5 and maybe even the 6.5 will be used for others etc.
