novak gear chart (http://www.teamnovak.com/products/info_updates/ss_update.htm)

Follow the link above for what novak states for gear but if you are running a xxxt or something close to that gearbox then a good starting point for a 4 min race and the 4300 would be somewhere around 86/24 but you will want to check your temps to make sure you are about 160 or so after a full run. I would start with about 5 less teeth on the 5800 and check temps also.

Hope that helps!

Jeff,

Found any info yet??? I'm starting out in the 10.5 class myself and need help.

I'd like an answer something like...With an ultrabird @ 36 degrees I ran a 2.50 rollout, for the the 10.5 I ran a 2.60.

Just some kind of direct compairson would be cool.

Later, Bret

Bret,

You will get other more appropriate answers but.....for what its worth on carpet with pan cars at the 'birds we ran something like 2.40 with the ultrabird and 3.70 with the 10.5.

fast guy's at the birds in 10.5 were at 3.02-3.05 rollout

Start with a 2.00-2.10 rollout with 6 cell dirt oval 10.5 motors

Our 19t sprint cars are at 1.78 rollout on pretty much the same size track,mild bank,med-high bite clay rubber CW tires
