When we ran 4.10 and 4.56 gearsets for different-length tracks, we kept two center sections built up and swapped the whole unit. The higher gear worked better on a "long" 1/4 mile track where the distance was measured around the infield, while a "short" track was measured around the outside perimeter. There was about 100 feet or a little more difference in the straightaway length, which would allow a low-geared car to over rev. Jerry
