I have turbo drgaon 800 and wanted to change the gearing in it, i have the stock gears in it now. I would like to gear it up, so i can get some more track speed out of it. I have tried to talk to a few people on other forums, but haven't gotten any replies. Any help would be great, thaks.

well, lets say your stock gearing is good for 80+ mph.....
8200rpm x (19 / 43) x 25.2/12" x 60 / 5280 = 86mph @ 1:1, 10t drivers

do you want a track speed higher than 86 mph?? If so, gear up.

if you want a more aggressive upshift to accelerate faster up to 86 mph, add weight to the clutch. You might want to start with a turbo helix/clutching setup from somebody like carl's cycle......track speed is a function of clutching efficiency, among other things and they've done the homework for ya.
