I found, though, I was bouncing on the limiter in 6th, lengthening one click 2-6 gives me a bit extra (and maybe opportunities to slip stream somebody).
But of course I don't manage to keep the revs even near as high as you when braking, Sean (do you keep throttle all the time?), so having longer gears actually helps me to not waste so much speed in turns, that might be a bigger factor for me than top speed.
Awesome setup anyway, I was in 48 for very good laps, now 48 is a so-so lap and if planets align I might even get to the high 46 for personal best
