run the 14, the 13 is too low and also shortens the power band so you'll be shifting more. Sounds like you'll be in 4,5 and 6 most the time. Just keep your weight to the inside and if u start sliding the backend too much for comfort DONT dump the throttle..let off slow. When u dump the throttle you'll high side...somebody posted a vid not long ago of that exact thing. Gas hard down the straights and brake late. Good luck and most of all have fun!!!

buy some lawn mower turf tires, ive seen people use them as a cheap alternative to flat track tires,they have a nice flat profile and are light
