Default Gears with a F13

This will probably be a F13 114 LSA, and it's on a manual. What would eb the best gears for this setup? I know to maximize the setup it'd probably be 4:10's, but how well would it do with stock 3:43s?

I'm running the F14 on a stock tune with 3.42s right now, and its doing fine. 4.10s would definetly be the best but it drives fine on stock gears.

ah finaly someone else...

You can leave the 3.42s in for as long as you can stand them. 4.10s would be better however.

I run 1600rpm with my f14 in 6th going down the interstate at no problem..

I run an f13 on 3.42's also. No problems, but 4.10 would help you stay in the powerband better.
