how does the tooth count on sprokets relate to speed? im new to sproket changing.
i have a 86 lt230s and it does about 50mph (car followed me) or so and i would like it to go a little faster. it accelerates quickly and tops out very fast speed wise. it feels like it needs another gear when at top speed. it has great power and new clutchs so i know it has to be gearing issues. it destroys my atc250sx drag racing. the guy i bought it from said the owner before him used to race it so im not sure whats all done to it because he didnt know eather.
i know the gearing is 12/41stock and the front gear is stock tooth wise but i havent counted the rear yet, plus it has 20in tires on it instead of the 22in stock size.
which way should i go to get 60 possably or at least back to the factory 55mph?

like i said im new to sprocket gearing so any help is app.
