78 Z1R Turbo

Turbo's like a small rear sprocket. I think I have a 33T on mine. They are just the opposite of a naturally aspirated bike. On those, you gear down to make it quick where a turbo likes tall gearing to put a load on the turbo to create boost sooner. I have seen a turbo run a 31T rear sprocket for that purpose. Makes them a little lazy in day to day riding but when you load that turbo and that small rear sprocket lugs at the turbo and the boost hits...hang on!
