I use 8bu-00's on my 01 srx. I have seen that Turk has mentioned to other members to use the 89a-10's. What differences can be noticed between the two weights if all other variables remain the same. Does one accelerate better than the other? Or is one better for top end? Which one would be better for 2000' ice radar runs? Thanks :rocks:
 

The 8bu,s are fine with a shallower helix with a low finish angle, load the tip weight & use a lot of secondary pretension.
 
i am going to also be running 8bu weights, but my finish angle is much higher than that, and it is a dyno proven clutch setup. Turk, not saying anything about your setups, cause I know they are great, and you have tested everything under the sun, but what do you consider a shallow finish angle? Like what do you consider the highest finish angle to use with this weight, for ditch banging, or lake racing
 
Ditch banging and lake running in my opinion would be 2 completely different set-ups. I think for ditch banging you would be better off with the stock weights and a helix that doesn't start to steep. With the 37 finish angle she just keeps pulling for lake runs. It holds the rpm the whole time. Bye bye everything. SRX's in my opinion should never have been discontinued. I had a mach z before my SRX's and I could never beat them. It took me a trip to Jaws performance to finally beat them and then it blew up (haha). Should have just bought blue to start with.

Chassis dyno gets you close with hardpack snow conditions & the rider weight being similar to the test pilot at the elevation it was tested at. Nothing beats a rider testing his own sled against other sleds on his particular snow conditions at his elevation. There are a ton of variables like rider weight, eleavation, snow conditions, temperatures that can make a significant way in the way a certain bolt in kit performs.
