Default best gear from a roll?

just out of curiosity, which gear would be better from a roll and which would hit harder! 3.42 or 3.73?

Depends on what kinda roll you are going from...I personally like a 60 roll with my 3.42s as I can drop it in second and hit hard, but that's gonna change big time with the 4.11s that are coming.

Gears don't make that much of a difference in a roll race besides where your rpm's are at when you drop a gear or such. I personally like the 3:89's for a roll, but I think 4:30's or 4:56's would be hella nasty.

Watch the third video down on this post:

At the end, they do a roll race. That will show you what 3.42s vs 4.10s are like (compared to a dig).
