Well I did some reading on gears in the R and C forum. I am getting the 4:56 gears. It's a compromise but best for my my needs. If my car was only for track use I would get the 4:77's

The way I see it I may ultimately be able to get faster lap times with the 4:77's
but will have to shift a lot more.
Also I don't want to run out of gear at a long track (like VIR)

how fast were you there?
I was lapping in the 2:23-25 range, only 12 seconds off the really fast cars

On the VIR Full Course, around 135 on both straights, and ~ 120 going into the Climbing esses.
