wouldn't the lower gearing on the 07 actually hurt roll on with the torque a 14 makes?

Something's wrong there. If the 07 Brock bike started in 2nd gear at 60 mph and the 09 was in 3rd...it should have been a massacre.
Horrific accounting of the SUV accident, though. Wow!

Just my opinion but changing your gearing is good for drag(0-130 maybe) but will hurt top in performance/speed tremendously. There a bit off threads posted referring to this and the results.Some have even changed the back sprocket(lower teeth) to compensate for that 16 tooth in the front(harder to change)just to get their top end back.I remember on member doing this for his Maxxon run but still wanted to go back to his 16/41 drag setup afterwards.Smokin, I think that green is the baddest color(outside of my 06 blue ). Witnessing an accident is bad & I don't invy that. Glad you all were safe & not involed
