I never run higher than 19 40 gearing on a turbo sled. You don't need 95 mph track speed. IMO going to 22 40 will be even worse personally I think you should gear it down otherwise its like trying to start a muscle car in third gear. If the new track is eating belts you are loading the clutches and the problem will be even worse gearing it up. Every guy I know who went 174 ended up gearing at 18 40 due to the extra load the track put on the clutches in order to keep belts on the sled. Do a pull then pop your belt cover off and feel which clutch is hotter then you will know where your problem is, primary or secondary. Heat is the enemy doesn't matter where it comes from heat is heat and it kills belts fast. I wind my secondary 0 1 which if I remember is 70 degrees with a Cat green spring.
JMO take it or leave it.
