another gearing question

Well i definitely got plenty of information.I may not be set up to run quite as fast as some of you but the top end of third gear on my Baja on our drag hill is moving right along.I was going to go with the ultralight tires but after thinking about how little drag racing i do as compared to duning i went with 22" 10 paddle regular haulers.I also got the lightened hubs so that i can run the 8"wheel and between the lightened hubs and the somewhat lighter than my extremes haulers i should be saving maybe 5 lbs total rotating mass and that should help some.I will try the 15-40 gearing again this wekend to make sure that i want to change because it sounds like as long as i am not bogging on take off i should be alright with the 15-40.This stock bore really jumps off the line now that i have a +4" swingarm.I did lose to a couple of fast banshees last weekend as you would expect but i am having fun showing up at the drag hill with my stock looking DS and making a strong showing.I have always been able to find at least a couple of quad lengths gain in performance by tweaking here and there and that is where i am now so if anyone has anything they are willing to give up that may help i would like to hear it.Does anyone know how much weight is saved with the HPR lightened hubs for the DS?
