Which gear set?

I'm a little over my GP150 gear box, 3rd to 4th jump is a bit gay.

I'm running a V4 Mugello 192 with a TM24, ADS3, 17/46 set-up

I'm tossing between an Li150 or a GP200 gearbox

Or can I make my own gear set, with all the different loose gears available?

What do I go for?

The GP 200 with 18 x 47 std set up and Li 150 with 15 x 46 std set up have more or less the same final drive at 5.2 but the GP box has better 3rd to 4th ratio, the Li has better overlap from 2nd to 3rd but I think 3rd to 4th is more important.
I don't think it's as simple as just mixing loose cogs to make your own set up.

You need to play around with Tony Cassidy's gearbox visualiser. I'd set the minimum revs at 5000, the maximum at 7,000 and the red line at 7,500. Or possibly lower with an ADS3.

The way I'm missing gear changes at the moment, might set the red line at 10!
