I took the bike to the very same track. Same timing system and dropped 3 tenths by going to the RWR pipe with same gearing (15/42) that I ran with HPR pipe due to the bike making torque so much earlier, causing me to literally blow the tires off (13-paddle extremes). I started gearing it up and up and up to run the 4.6's. The bike just kept getting faster and faster. I still feel there is more on the table simply because I was still blowing the tires a little on the launch (even in 2nd gear) with a 16/40 gearing. I wish I could have made atleast 1 pass with a 16/38 just to for myself. Hope this helps....!
