17/40 might get you out a little quicker but I personally think you need to give up something coming out and make it up on last half. Some racers might disagree with me saying it's all won out of the hole, but there is a lot to be said about keeping a turbo bike smooth out of the hole, planted on the track, and screaming low and fast at the end.
