I'm a firm beliver in gearing 2 to 1 final drive ratio. Depending on the intended us of the sled of course. Your 23/39 x 1.13 (8 tooth drives as apposed to 9) gives a 1.91 to one. Probably pretty good right there without spending a dime. Up to you I guess.
If it was mine I would, but that's just me. I run 2.06 (I think) in my srx. Pulls like a train here at home, climbs great out west, and still will run a decent enough mph on the lake to kill me if I fall off 
yeah not worried at all about top speed just off trail and powder...

Run the stock gearing with the 8 tooth drivers and the 136. Gearing it slightly lower may cause trenching in the heavy snow in MI and Ont. Personally done a few 136 sx's and stock with the 8 tooth extros seems to be the best.
I agree - The 11% change due to switching from 9T to 8T drivers seems to be just about right for switching a shorty to a crossover (136 - 144) sled. If you go longer, you may need to drop lower, but you will likely want to set the skid back to avoid the trenching that Grape mentioned.
Chadly, YUP! When I did the Viper I left the stock reverse gearing and installed 8 tooth drivers. You've seen it run, right? Save your money for FUEL!! That thing is gonna be THIRSTY pulling that gearing and track LOL!
Did you get a new sled? (besides the vmax 600) ?
Thanks guys.. Damn Dave she is already thirsty lol....
