gearing gearing gearing speed is rpm's HP is power. they all turn at about the same 3600 RPM assuming stock so they all go the same speed with the same gearing, need tire size, gear ratio's etc. to tell speed. you CAN go to a higher ratio to get higher speed with more power available not trying to be an pain, you just can't answer the question really. assuming the gearing is the same, your acceleration will be much improved though

how do i tell gearing?

The gearing is the number of teeth on the clutch and number of teeth on the axle sprocket.

# of teeth on the clutch=C
# of teeth on the axle sprocket=S

S/C=Gear ratio.
