Gearing suggestions for switchback 144"

[CPearce]

I'm rocking an extended 144" fusion and trying to find out the right gearing for my set up. When it dumps nasty and it's nice n fluffy, at times I struggle to get out if steep bowls or pitches. I feel my clutching is right and is maxing out at 7850 - 7900 rpm but feel there is still more in the sled. My current gear setup is 19-42 and last year 20-41. I love how the skis jump off the ground when I throttle the sled but feel like it may be geared to low.

Just curious what other switchback riders gear set up is. Please share, thanks.

SLP pipe or stock?
So your running a Switchback track? 144x15 1.25"

stock gearing in 05 900 is 24 37 gives 1,54 to 1 ratio is good for top end gave me 103 MPH on radar but deep snow was not great it nosed down all the time

i changed to 18 41 gives 2,27 to 1 ratio but at the same time i added a 151 2" track i went to great deep snow proformence to loosing my top end ( ok with me )to 86 MPH sits on the rear bumper all the time depends on what you want to do with it

seems to me like you are reving high though what weights and alt are you running i rev at 7600 at 1800 feet with 10-74 weights and black-green spring

I running slp blue/pink w/ slp mtx 74 gram weights in the primary. Secondary running red/black w/ 66.44.46er helix. I'm using the 144x2x15 challenger track. Riding at 10,000 ft. +/- 1000 ft.

I guess I can add more weight to the weights. And maybe gear it up a little.
