According to this site, it will probably be near peak torque:

If yours is not an LTD, then it might be slightly different.

14 41 gearing is what i use on my little drag bike it is good for around 125 mph top speed but if you run that gearing on the street it will be very buzzy and not super comfortable to ride i prefer 15 33 or 35 on the street my self.
Me too.
