So, straight line racing isnt something new to me, been drag racing for 4 years or so on bikes now. I want to try by the end of the year to make a LSR event(probably Maxton since it's the closest to me). Right now, my bike sits at about 63', 3-3.5 inches of ground clearance when it's set on race mode, 1397 with dual intakes, decent compression and nitrous. I've got it geard at 16/45, with a 180-55 shinko. I've got a Power One that'll go on it before it makes it to the track anywhere. With that gearing I'm quite sure I run out of RPM at about 172-3mph, and from some road testing I know I run out well within a mile. If I tuck the wheel up to the 62in I like it at, I'm breaking chain links, and if I go back to some gearing that will run me out the back door at a mile I'm doing the same.
Safety stuff aside (leathers, safety wire, etc.) I would love to make the 175 mark in a mile. Does anyone have a gearing suggestion for my power and tire combo? Not looking to re-invent the wheel, just want to have an idea on what I would have to change to get me to the goal, and hope I can put it in the budget.
