Gearing?

[nissan87man]

I got my engine rebuilt. It has a wiseco .40 over piston, port and polish, stage 1 hotcam, Kibble valve and spring kit. My problem is that my warrior revs out to fast now. My gearing is 14/40 with a 20x10-9 rear tires. I want more top end. shouls I change the gearing, Put bigger tires on the rear or get a aftermarket cdi.

aftermarket cdi wont do anything for you.... if i were you i would probably go with gearing... bigger tires will be heavier and i think youll lose more of your bottom end than you would with taller gears

Thanks. I'll try the 15 tooth sprocket. Also will it clear my noss case saver and will I need a longer chain?

Not sure about the the saver but if you didnt get a new sprocket you should get a new chain, probably a 101 link. You can always take them off but you cant add them on na mean.

Personally I find it easier to replace the rear even tho it cost considerably more money and you know your not gonna hit the skid with a smaller rear

Thanks. I'll pick up a 38 rear. I have two 98 link chains, both almost new. I dont want to have to buy another. Atleast with the 38 rear, I will have to just shorten one chain.
