[QUOTE="69ST, post: 174376, member: 5"] You're not hijacking the thread. As lengthy & convoluted as this discussion became, that's nothing compared to what it would have taken to correct the gearing had the gears not been positively ID'd. And, there's still the remote possibility that the installed 4th gear pair is 24/23 instead of 23/24. No, I'm not throwing sh*t against the wall. Anything is possible and you'd be surprised at some of the mixed & (sometimes mis) matched parts swap combos I've seen over the years...including hybrid primary gear pairs, which resulted in some bizarre noises. As for the overall ratio spread, the ATC tranny is more close-ratio, which should favor a hp-biased tune (that makes relatively less torque). OTOH, gear spacing (of ratios) won't affect top speed...at all...as long as the chosen sprocket combo is matched to the overall primary + top gear + tire circumference. It wouldn't matter if this were a 3-speed; the only effect would be living with what feels like a 4-speed that's missing second gear. [/QUOTE]
