Ok 12-12-12-60 will be fine. Equalling 5:1 those are only 10" slicks. and you will reach a higher top speed.
Here is a jackshaft calculator: http://www.affordablegokarts.com/GearCalc.php

These^ guys were correct trying to get you to a 6:1. A great all around ratio. I run that on 15" Tires. With your 10" slicks 5:1 will also be fine.

That is the beauty of keeping the jackshaft, the little gears are cheap, and it provides tunability.

Also on the low oil sensor switch, just reroute the wires to a button. Makes a great kill switch. and mine does not leak or anything, so, So far I left it in the block.
