Rear gear question

My handy dream wheel says 133 is 10 flat horse power, 600 - 620 HP or so.

1.45 60' isn't hateful. Probably has mid 1.30 in it anyhow. A 3 speed, with the extra SLR should make it 60' a little better. A lightweight 3 speed would be even better.

Depends on your goals. More rear gear, as was said, will help. Agree with a 5800 converter. Beyond that, if it's consistency on marginal tracks, you're probably best with that low gear. Want to go fast, need the low gear a 3 speed would offer. And more tire.
