Finding gears for the Doug Nash is a challenge so this can be my callout to any racers that have them in a box on the shelf somewhere. I am looking to change to 5.57 gears as I am crossing at 6300 with the 5.14's and motor makes power to 7000. I am also dialing in a slipper clutch for the first time so it's a matter of optimizing my combo and then focusing on consistency.
You’ll need more rear gear to cross finish line at least 7500 rpm
