Shorter gears, about 10% shorter, would perhaps be marginally better for Mosport, but if you're not at or below 1:32 (at the highest) for the circuit with slicks, it'll be a waste of money for you.
NobleGT3, you're being too hard on the engine. It's a lapping day!
You should be well into 5th on the back straight, in 4th before the turn in to eight, and in 3rd before turning into nine. If you're in 2nd coming out of ten it's too short, and if in 3rd it's a tad, mind you only a tad, too long, so 3rd is better. You should be in 4th going into corner one and remain in 4th until just before you start the turn in to corner three, where you should be in 3rd. You upshift to 4th between corners three and four and stay there until after the flat at the bottom of four. Then it's down to 3rd and also into 2nd coming up the rise into corner five A, without having engaged 3rd.

The Top of fourth is only good for 235kmh.
to hit that speed (252) you need to be in fifth for a little bit and see least over 7000rpm.

My gearing is better than stock at Mosport but my third gear could be a little longer when in turn 3#.. I have to carry more speed in fourth or shift into fourth when using third...
other than that it's great.
The car is much quicker with the regearing.....at Mosport unlike the smaller tracks driver skill makes a big difference.

MPSC, a good alignment,FIKSES,seats and rollbar plus banging it off the rev limiter!! ( with FRYD right behind as always!)
