If you are looking for top speed...shim the helix and shim your belt deflection, or machine your secondary.
If you are an off trail guy who never goes above 100, I wouldn't mess with it.

Seems many like 6/1.....But I would only do that if you shim helix/machine pocket.Should I stay at 3/3 or 6/1
I am set there now....lots more testing to come though.
