Depends on whether your a masher or a spinner.
I'm finding 92 a little low for DGV.

92 is a solid gear for Dunc. You can race & train on the same gear too. It's not mandatory to switch at every possible moment & if not done properly probably won't be beneficial either. My advice would be to train and race on 92 for about 6 months before swapping and changing. From memory I rode the first year of my track riding on 92 and even won Div 2 at winter series on a smaller gear than that from memory.
But there is a lot to learn about technique, developing a good pedal stroke and spinning different cadences in races before you start pushing a strength building gear. Strength is good but you will actually get a better acceleration with utilizing cadence than strength.
