Leet TC3

I have been using MVP almost exclusively for the past few months, and have found it to be outstanding. After experimenting with different gearing, I have settled on the following:
For a track that is rather wide open (few tight turns) I use 29t or 30t pinion on my TC3(72t spur). I use 30t on cooler days. On a tighter track, 28t seems to be the way to go. Plenty of acceleration, and still lots of high-end speed.
Under NO circumstances go less than 26t on an MVP. The motor really ***** at lower gearings.
I am going to experiment with a GM3, to see what differences there are. I love the MVP, but as we all know it can get REAL hot, and I do think it affects performance later in the race.
What gearing should I use? I have a TC3, and race at two tracks: One is rather wide open, smooth, banked asphalt. The other one is typicaly parking lot, changes week to week but is USUALLY smaller with tighter turns.
