Well yeah thats why I'm estimating about 5mph speed loss over the 'estimated top speed'.

When i was geared for 53mph on my savage according to the speed calcs.... i was getting an actual top speed of 44mph according to multiple radar guns... That was with badland tyres... maybe that will help you decide your gearing a little.... Oh and my temps were in the 110-120 degreeF range... so running very cool still.... i am have yet to push this motor temps apart from one time when i accidently geared my motor to 75mph but that was a little mistake...
