Just purchased 14 tooth and a 72 tooth sprocket to start with.
That maybe a good place to start.
That's 5.14 ratio with 22 6000 rpm's tops at 38.17 MPH.
But that's saying your clutch set up is 1 to 1. Using a sled front and cart rear clutch I don't know what it actually is. But I am thinking it is going to be an overdrive not 1 to 1. With a 15% overdrive would put you at 43.9 mph.

Make sure you come back and tell us how it worked. Or we still will be having this debate!

Worst case, if you still have the gas rear and swing arm you could put high speed gears 6 to 1 and I think you would be there.
If I build a another one with sled engine that what I am going to do.
