136" x 1.75" viper, stock motor, torque stop, 8 tooth drivers, 22/38 gears, 48/40 advant helix and green secondary spring wrapped at 70*. primary is stock. seems a bit sluggish, runs about 8,300 out of the hole and creeps to 8,500 - 8,700 after 50 -60 mph depending on the mood. any suggestions? thanks!
 

You are probably finding that it acts sluggish with the longer track because the stock 8EK weights dont have much profile to them. A set of 8DN-20's with almost that same setup will perform a lot better, offtrail as well as on.

do you have a spare set laying around?
 
no i dont bro, sorry. I do have some dalton dpy-53's that are similar in profile but don't have any adjustablity (just like polaris weights)

thanks anyways. ill try and find a used set. how much $ do they usually go for?
 
i would say usually around $30-40 shipped used. You could always bring that baby out to the lake to get her dialed in once you get your weights and some rivets
