you can run that track with the stock 9 tooth drivers , 1.50-1.75 fit in a viper or srx with 9 tooth drivers, no problems. You do have to remove the front heat exchanger protectors and tunnel wear strips. If you go to 8 tooth drivers your stock 22/38 gearing which is 1.73, will now become a 1.94, thats alot steeper and yes, it will have more low speed pick up, but it will greatly take away from the topend, the track already will sap away some topend, along with the gearing your gonna really notice it. Your speedo will also need some work as its going to read alot faster now with 8 tooth drivers, your most likely going to have to grind off 2 teeth on the reluctor wheel on the driveshaft in order to get back close to the correct speedo calibration. Its also harder to turn the track with 8 tooth drivers then 9 tooth drivers, meaning it takes more power to turn the track the same mph as it would be less with larger drivers. In my opinion, I would stick with the 9 tooth drivers unless you need studs as well with that big of a lug track. the stock gearing is perfect for a bigger track unless you weigh over 190-200lbs.
