Default Hooking better is part...

In my Ventura I was netting a 106.54 MPH, with a 60' in the 1.997 range, ET12.991. After swapping the gears from 3.70 to 4.30 I was running between 104.78 to 105.5 MPH, with a 60' 1.864 to 1.90 range, and ET 12.60

We were worried the lower gear would cause alot more MPH but it actually helped the 60', lowered the MPH, and did raise the RPM from 5000-5100 to around 5600-5700 at the finish line. See the raise in RPM was way less than most people predicted. JD
