Well to every one that said little 700 couldn't beat machz. Raced 98 240 chisels reeds egt gauges. We went 4 times first time he jumped, first time caught him at about 660 then he pulled me half a sled. Next 3 times got him every time. He was creeping up to me around 900 feet but 1/2 to 1 sled beat him every time. 8bu10s 49 45 bender helix green spring. Tried 55 45 Came out of hole real hard but then lost rpm. Still need to get rpm up only turning 8300. Stock gear need to change was running out of gear. This guy has owned pro stock drag sleds was no dummy.
 

working all day on my 8bu-10 setup..just can't get past the 8000 to 8200 rpm's no matter what.Pull wicked as hell and you have to hang on..but without that sweet rpm..no top end.Gettingg only 90 mph at that low rpm.Now I loaded the weights up 1 gram more on tip from the last time and can't tune it.I am using a 50/40 helix also.What do you have for rivets in the weights and what primary spring.Doesn't look like the w-w-w spring is applying enough pressure to the belt in my primary.Now I do have a bender 49/45,haven't tried it yet.Tried 51/43..no top end..maybe 97 on the gun.I am getting a little annoyed at these weights already...probably got to much weight in the clutch now..any info would be appreciated...
 
Got to get more rpms. Still at 8200 8300. Gearing is stock was out of gear if we went 1100ft he would have got me. Should I go with 23 top or change bottom? Ever try the aluminum bottom gears? I was pretty happy guy couldn't believe little 700 beat him.
 
Blue on getting to 8200 my self. Tried 54 45 thing would stand right up. Green sring would lunch good and them drop to 7800 7900. With the 4945, Holding 8200 8300. Going stay with that and take some weight out of the 8bus.
 
what is the total weight you are running?Mine is at 53.7 grams..may be a tad heavy,that is why my rpm is low wot.What speed did you hit then with that heix..just curious..
 
57 total weight blue. Was 58.5 took bottom rivit right out. Running speed track 196 chisels. Not really sure what speeds I was running dream meter broke. Have a yellow orange front with shim. Had a cat red in back put green at 1 and 9
 
Wow in the 30s, Rpm stay at 8200 to 8300 for 1000ft. What do you think I should be running Tony? I am drag racing. Still got get rpms up. Was told 8700 is number i should be looking for.
