Turbo gearing disscussion

So with all the chatter about clutching gearing and track speed I thought it would be a good idea to have a turbo gearing thread.
List what you have for a turbo system , boost levels, track length and type, and gearing, Elevation and riding style.
Mine:
Turbo: M8 race gas custom turbo with pure logic fuel control
Boost: 12-14
Track: 162 power claw
Gearing: bdx 60/60
Elevation: 4500-6500 ft normally up to 10,000 couple times a year
Riding style: riding more trees and "slower" type stuff all the time

I think the 60/60's are fast for the riding I have been doing lately but I still like to hit Revy in the spring for some chute climbing

M1000rg 16-18psi. ce174 2.5. 98g weights running 60/60. like it climbing does not seem to be an issue boondocking. Did add a custom mount on base of motor and clamp it forward to sway bar tube to keep primary in place.
 
Type: M8 CPC stage 2 turbo
Boost: 6-10 psi depending on elevation/fuel
Track: 153" PowerClaw
Gearing: 54/66 inside a diamond lite drive
Elevation: 3000 - 8000 ft
Riding style: boondocking/technical terrain 70%, climbing 30%

Noticed a big improvement in clutch temps and track speed when gearing down. The sled is so much more fun to ride. Very happy with this setup for my riding style.
 
Type: 09 M1200 OVS Tial w/ new HTA
Boost: 7-12 psi depending on mood
Track: 162 extreme
Gearing: most days 60/60 with 11.25 secondary, its appx. equal to 57/63 stock secondary

Race day it all changes, boost/clutching/gearing
 
Back up top. I swapped my 60/60 for 57/63's on the weekend. I also swapped the p claw for a 2.5 camo extreme. I will report when I get a mile or so on
