...no bbk until something breaks...

..next step is the variator, without a doubt..i need a new one, and i might as well go bigger...

..i'm still mot sure about the gears, as i don't want to lose bottom end take-off speed...

..wondering if i could turn enough rpms to make gears effective without a bbk...

With the bigger carb and free-flowing exhaust you might be able to turn the gears.  It's all in the cvt tuning!  Might be worth a try

No doubt my Brother! That overrange var will give you the same effect as going w/ a gear set only you will lose nothing on the bottom. It will give you a few more mph on top.

That's where you want to feel it. Bottom end torque is good, but feeling it at the top is best!

...yeah, so i'm able to generate a bit more horsepower, but if i can't get a greater ratio between the drive and the  driven pulley's, then it's all in vain...

..a belt can only ride so high on the drive pulley...

..a few engine rpms and a bit of increase in torque doesn't matter if you can't put it to the pavement...
