Closest to a 1:1 ratio so you don't have to do math to determine proper power output. If you do it in a 2:1 gear or a 4:1 gear (just random numbers), the result will be off by 1/2 or 1/4 depending.

You can always Google the gear ratios and do it yourself. It would take less time than posting on Honda-Tech.

if you go to the right place and the tech knows what hes doing he'll do it in 3rd and take it up the power band nice and easy.
