M8 Turbo Gearing?

[Gobig510]

So I'm putting in a new Diamond Drive in my 2008 M8 Race Gas Turbo, I usually run between 10 and 14lbs. What gearing should I put in? Just go with stock gearing or does a different gearing work better on turbos? And what is stock gearing? 60/60? I tried to find a thread on this but no luck... Thanks

I beleive your stock gears for that sled were 57/63 only the crossfires and the 1000's had the 60/60. I also think that the new 800 H.O. runs 55/65. The stock gears are plenty strong enough but they are heavy, BDX makes some realy strong gears that are much lighter.

My TM8 has 57/63 stock and I like it alot. I'm told that some of the guys like the 60/60, but expect the belt life to be an issue.

I have 60/60's in mine, they work good. I would like to try the stock gearing (57/63) but unless my diamond drive blows. I don't think I will change them. I know at 12 or 14 lbs of boost with the 60/60's it is damn fast
