Ok so lets say i have just applied to Guiness to achieve a land speed record on a bmx  ;)

Assuming i went with the principle of this guy with a big fookoff chainring:

Not a valid vimeo URL
Keeping it oldschool whats the largest chainring you could run on an unaltered bmx frame, and any idea which frame would give the most clearance? :D

Sixteen thirty-two. What is that? A year?   No, it's your top score on Pole Position.
