With my rev limit and an OE tire, my car will go 67 in 2nd. On the stubby 15s it'll do 62 mph. That works out to just about perfect for 98% of AX courses. Flip side is driving on the freeway sucks as I rev to the moon to keep up with traffic. For track people, it may put you in different gears around your local track, which may be good or may be bad.

Actually if you look at the data i've broken the inertial and gearing cost into separate slots, in the above the front axle is all inertial and the cost is ~3.69lb-ft in back the inertial cost is ~1.5lb-ft for a total of ~5.2lb-ft inertial the other ~12.2lb-ft is gearing
