3.25 to 1 is really low! Way to low in my opinion for autocrossing a
F440. It probably didn't accelerate out of the corners like you wanted it to.
I don't think the car will top out before that speed, but you might get too
much wheel spin coming out of the corners, thus losing some time. For the
initial runs I say go with the 6 to 1 and get use to the car. Then start
changing, tweaking and modifying. It's pretty easy to get pretty quick in
these cars, the hard part is getting the last few 10th's to beat everyone
and that's part of the fun.

Gary The car I drove this past weekend was a 87 red deviel with a kawasaki
440 it has low gearing 3.25 to 1 the car is out of ohio. I orginaly
bought the Miller car from texas (82 Red Deviel) and was looking for parts
when the ohio car came available. The miller car was in very bad shape
and had a blow head so decided to change it over to a 494. The gearing
that is on the car is 60 teeth rear wheel and 10 teeth front
sprocket. With changing the engine I want to khow should I change the
rear sprocket also with top end of 60 to 70 mph in auto cross will the car
top out before that speed or not what type of other problems could I have
with the car because of the gearing Rory
