You can over gear in the 1/8 and not have enough wheel speed leaving or have a spin problem.. Just get in high a little after the 330 is what most of the quickest Comp guys do. But you better have something that has some beans to do that!!!
what do you call "drops like a rock". 10 to 15HP say at 500 rpm past peak HP??
