I raced my speedsters on dirt with 4.33 gears running at WOT on ½-mile dirt tracks without an engine issue. I guess it is all in what you like with a speedster, but 4.33 gears were fun for me. My son is restoring the old 'Crash' Brown Model-A sprint car, and we will be putting a 4.33 in that too.
I'll admit I was thinking more of a street drivien speedster. Still doesn't explain why he needs 4.33 gears to put it on a trailer...
