That's my setup, but it depends on what you want to
do.  Lots of "short work", ie. tight turns, hills,
twisties, 4.22 or lower (4.55 and 4.88 are racing
ratios used commonly).  On the track during my wannabe
laps on Saturday a 4.55 would have been great.  At a
track like Road America with a long straight, a 4.55
would probably be too short, a 4.22 would prob'ly be
better.  WST?  Gar?
