Had my srx out for the first time last week with the new RIPSAW track and 8 tooth drives !! And let me tell you, what a difference with this set up. Im finally happy with my CPR780 . I could never get the traction that I want with the oem track I would just blow it right off. Now its a whole different story with this RIPSAW, it just comes out HARD!!!! My clutching seems to be perfect , right at 8500 rpms dead nuts . I do have one question . I hear alot of guys talking about helixs I don't do any of my clutching because I don't fully understand how these things work yet , but I am learning. The guy who does it for me Is no longer in my state, He would only work on the primary clutch not the secondary. Am I losing anything by leaving this stock??

A multi angle helix allows you to get a very quick upshift (pull very hard out of the hole up to midrange, keeping the engine in the meat of the torque) and then have a slower progression to final shift with good belt grip (keeping the engine in the meat of the horsepower). A high angle helix upshifts fast but doesn't grip the belt well, a low angle grips the belt well but doesnt shit fast. A high angle upshifts fast but doesn't respond as quickly to torque changes (slower backshift), a low angle responds much better to torque changes in the drive line (quick backshift). Everything is a trade off, having a straight angle helix splits the window on trade-offs.

Low angle helixes don't shit fast, huh? LOL, just giving you a hard time, knew what you meant

On that sled a 54-46 or 54-44 with a green spring.

54/46 Dalton has worked wonders on my SRX with Heavy Hitters.
