I really wish you would make your settings with rigidity and turbine kits.

Are you farmiliar with the tranny trick?

Note that changing AUTO SETTING may require an adjustment of FINAL to get back to your effective (including the final drive) top-gear ratio. In fact, if you spend enough time experimenting with various combinations of AUTO SETTING and FINAL, as the author has done, you will notice that you end up with different spacing between the gears with the same AUTO SETTING depending on how FINAL is set when you adjust the AUTO SETTING. This discovery led to the invention of the so-called "Tranny Trick", which yields the closest possible gears without resorting to adjusting each individual gear ratio. The following procedure will achieve this result:

1 - Move FINAL all the way to the right (highest number)
2 - Move AUTO SETTING all the way to the left (towards SPORTS). If it is already set to the lowest setting, you must move it up one or more settings, then back to the far left.
3 - You now have as-close-as-automatically-possible gear ratios, you only need to adjust FINAL appropriately for the track involved.

Note that this technique doesn't yield the "best" gearing, only the closest gearing automatically achievable. This may not be "best", if the result is bogging in 1st gear, or you have a wide enough power band that you could benefit from fewer shifts per lap.

There deffinately would be more grip... but the amount of laps you could cover would not be as large.
