Secondary questions

[deekersrx700]

Are you better off using a silver secondary spring wrapped at 60 degrees or a green wrapped at 90 degrees. I'm just wondering if the green spring wrapped at 90 would be equal to the silver wrapped at 60. I hope you understand what I mean, In my earlier days I always wondered why guys would buy stiffer springs, I figured you could wrap the weaker one enough to equal the stiffer one.

well its kinda like this the red spring would yield a faster topend if all the given specs, conditions being run, stayed the same. The less tension pulling the belt back down in the primary allows the sled to stay in a taller ratio for more top speed, HOWEVER, when you get the spring wound up to say 90-110 or better, you begin to get into the same range, if not more, as the green would be starting at, at a lower twist, so its more advantageous when using a bigger helix to go to a green at a lower twist. You want to control the shift, not overpower it. I only run a stiff spring out back on grass or somewhere the traction is extremely high, using helix with starts of 52-56 degrees you have no choice. Snow is easier to work with and you wont need as big a helix and spring tension.

red (soft)
green (medium)
silver (hard)
