well the first ice race of the year s coming up and i was just wondering what the best helix was for 660 drags, sled is a 2000 srx setup for drags only. currently i am running a 51/37 but last year my sled was falling off at about 500ft mark. any help would be appreciated could this problem be the helix
 
helix is dependent on primary set up. There are 100 different primary set ups so that makes 100 best helix possobilities.
 
sorry about that Turk the primary now is bender qaws,orange pink orange spring, and overdrive sheave and gearing is 20/40

i've been having great luck with a dalton 47/42 in 660feet,i still have some fine tuning to do but so far i've beaten a few Good running F7's.Im running heelclickers in the primary
 
not sure about your primary stuff but i think your secondary spring is not that good for it if its silver..turk will probably pop out again
 
I talked to Heath at bender and he said to run the 20/40 gearing and the silver sec spring for everything that is done to the sled.
 
As 3:16 said 21/40 or 21/39 and around a 50/40 helix with green spring at 70 or go with what heath said and go slow.
 
falling off could be 2 possibilities
too much primary weight
pulled thru powervalve(s)
 
I,LL ANSWER YA ONE MORE TIME. ITS EXACTLY WHAT TURK POSTED. HERE IS WHEN YA KNOW ITS GEARING. WHEN BETWEEN 500 F.T. AND 660 F.T. YOU GET NOSED OUT BY ABOUT A SLED LENGTH. 3:16 (yammie tony)
