why is it b****x?
Bear with me here and this is of course theoretical...
I know the power curve and torque curve of the GX160's are pretty flat but, some engines do show a willingness (for want of a better phrase) to rev more than others.
So, in theory, if you had two engines with one producing say, 5.5hp @ 5200 rpm and another producing 5.5hp @ 5600 rpm, would it not be better to gear the latter engine slightly lower than the other to potentially get better overall performance from the kart?
I know I am talking about extremes here but in theory???
