Sounds like you have a good setup there! Nice temps considering the ambient temp...

I thought so to . I could use a touch more speed on the front streach. I wonder if it's better to go to a 14t pinion or go to a 8XL motor ?.

I'd always say give it a shot and see, remember that one these trucks 1 tooth is a MASSIVE gearing change so I'd never move more than 1 tooth up or down if you feel like you are in the right ballpark. Personally I run either a 9 or 10 tooth, never tried anything bigger with my current setup.

It's very close in my opinion. I'll try a 14t pinion plus try different diff oil might be exactly what i need.
