wastegate is right

when u finaaly do get good traction yr mph drops but yr time gets quicker

could also be what gear u cross the line in

my old car i used to get just b4 the finish line and have to decide whether to change into 5th gear of rev the ring out of the engine it never seemed to make much difference

i know most guys run around a 4.1 diff ratio

then about a 26 inch tall tyre

there is shitloads to much round with

but i think best thing is to be is where yr engine makes max hp as in revs and in 4th gear goin across the finish line
