I do not shift into 5th gear in the 1/4 mile and I have 5.14 gears. <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Make sure you type in your tire height as a 29" tire since it expands about an inch by the end of the track.

The tranny ratio for 4th gear is 1.0 that should be all you need. the rest is self explanatory.
