never been around that sled but 19/42, 19/43, 18/42 are some good ones for mtn sleds i've always been told 2.25 is the best geat ratio to have.

Talking ratios is misleading because of driver size. Some like taller gearing for bigger bores, but I like lower for mountain riding, I gear for about 85mph at max rpm. Probably close to stock M8 gearing for Diamond Drive.
