Hi I wondering which multiangle helix would suit me best.I have a 136"-1.750 deep track.The machine is a 700 mm piped and ported along with bored carbs,boost bottle etc. The style of riding I do is aggressive trail riding,breaking trails is deep snow as well as climbing some good size hills but no mountains.I was leaning towards a dalton 48-42.Please give any in put you can give.
thanks

it depends on the exact set up, but i would say that the 48/42 would be a good starting point
 
Just wondering if anyone has an idea on what helix i should be using? I have a 03 Viper, with roller seconday 144 studs. And heel clicker weights. Is there a diffrence in the helix's if you have a roller set up or are they all the same? I think I have a st8 42 in it right now. Just need some help.
 
Hey DV hows it goin'? You saw how well my long track was runnin'. I have a Hauck roller with a 51/43,green spring at 70, and stock primary weights with a 4.5 gram rivet in the tip. Before the stretch job I could pul 115 mph all day long woth a one time high of 122 on the ol' dream meter. You should be able to use stock or aftermarket helix's on most rollers. Hope this helped.

Dave ;)!
 
Doing good, how about yourself? Yes that does help I think I'm going to try this 48/34 Heel clicker Helix that I have here. When we were up in muni my dream meter was consistly hitting 117 when we were runing back and fourth on that lake, so I guess that isn't to bad. But I'm only pulling between 8100-8200 rpms. So I' ging ti take some tip weight out also. Thanks
 
Wow!!

You are under revving by 2-300 rpm. Mine likes about 8600 for best topend. No experience with thos primary weights, but usually 1 gram for 100 rpm change. I also saw that blueblood has a 53/43 dalton for sale. I think that might be a good choice. It is the reccomended helix from the tech pages. Good luck and hope you get some more riding in.

Dave ;)! ;)!
 
The roller rooster from advant-edge with a 41/35 works great or i have also used a 43/39 with good results in a similar sled.
