You got 16fps or you geared for a theoretical free speed of 16 fps? Either way it is pretty high but it is okay since it shifts. If you are geared for 16 fps in high that means you are geared for approx 6.2 fps in low with an Andymark, certainly not 11 or 14, unless you modified something.
As a side note 968's 4 speed is geared for someting like 22 fps in high gear, but those kind of speeds would never be achived in the short FIRST playing field so I don't think they ever use 4th.
