Lower gearing or smaller drivers?

[Ricks 32]

I'm putting a 3 inch Camoplast X3 under my 2010 M8 with OVS tial turbo. Running 12-13 lbs of boost. Current gearing is a BDX Diamond lite with 59/61 gearing. I was going to go back to stock gearing of 55/65 to capture some better low end performance. I'm debating going to a 7 tooth avid driver or keeping the stock drivers and going with 55/65 gearing.

Opinions needed....

To change over to 7 tooth drivers you also have to use the bdx diamond light drive due to driver/case clearance issues. If you have a light drive already, I would definitely do the drivers. You will gain some clearance between the paddles and the front cooler. If not, gears would be your most economical route.
