I agree with you...the lower pitch will jump up you rpm's and the larger diameter will help with efficiency and getting more speed out of a lower rpm... you can also get it doubled pitched....keepin ya top end at a 19p and get the lower end pitched to 17p...gives you better take off without losing ya top end
