LSS Gearing

What kind of gear range is seen in the LSS class on an alky tractor? What would be a good starting point for a state level tractor? |

Depending the motor setup but a decent starting point would be 17.5:1 to 18.5:1 |

State level I would say 18, 19, or 20 gear ratio, depending on motor & turbo combination. [www.ulmerracing.com] |

Do you see much difference in gearing need when comparing Puller 2000 or old style double cuts? |

Tires will make a difference. Pretty tough to compare LLSS as sled settings are probably 3 blocks less for LLSS. Grand national caliber LSS may run a faster ratio, he specifically said state level. Diesel state level should likely be in a 14-15 gear. [www.ulmerracing.com] |

I have heard that some of the lss smokers run around a 12.1 gear. Seems like a big gear but its what I was told. |
