Steve, does that advice apply to both dry and oil clutches, or would you go bigger for dry clutches? Or does it vary based on how any particular clutch is set up? My Jim Donovan Max Torque is dry and hooks up pretty tight ( he set it to engage around 5k RPM) and I had a hard time keeping momentum through that final hairpin into the straight past the starting grid. It was for this turn that I went with the 7.6:1 gearset, and I would have gone bigger, if I wasn't concerned about over-revving down the long straight. Technique through the last corner might have something to do with this, too, I suppose!
