Custom Gear - 6th Gear Ratio?
I was wondering if anyone has looked at having a custom 6th gear made to drop rpm in top gear for cruising?
I’m running a CBR engine in my BEC with a cassette type transmission which can be swapped out without too much drama so my thoughts are that I could
run a spare transmission to use for cruising events rather than racing and swap them out depending on the occasion, the car is mainly road use and
7100rpm on the highway gets annoying on a 4 hour round trip on some of our runs.

What size of wheels are you running? always cheaper to start there than overdrives etc. I used to have two sets for my Landy, tall skinny's to
raise the gearing for the road and small wides for the mud plugging.
Although if your using a chain drive the answers obvious.
