Sidewinder Helix

[DMCTurbo]

35/39

Shagman's helix from Dalton

Did you notice any difference in how the Dalton helix contacted the rollers?

Everything good so far. Will there be a roller that will not have contact? I am betting so...but I wouldn't be worried about it.

Bad part...the rollers are a moveable item where the pucks were not. You may not realize this...but the helix on the older button clutches did not make contact on all of them either. Wear was different from puck to puck, but the moveable roller makes everyone freak out.

I remember this as well. The tolerances across the board would have to be extremely tight to ensure all 3 touched.

I have a stm 38 helix on now and only one roller touches. My stock helix had 2 touching at least.

I guess it's not the helix lol

Sorry about that, this was on my Sidewinder which has EVO stage 4 flash.

But, my turbo Viper was also in the 126mph range....but top speed was the Sidewinder

What 141" track are you running?

I have a dalton helix and cat rollers. All rollers are touching. 350 miles on the new rollers and helix. Everything looks good

Stock helix with cat rollers, all 3 touching. Guess I'm lucky.

I thought I read earlier but can't find it now - do the Dalton helixes have a slightly deeper pocket than stock? Meaning, will one of these negate the need for me to have the stock pocket machined deeper to avoid coil bind?

What do you have yours wound at? 3/3 or 6/1 ?

Set to 6/1.

 

[jonlafon1]

Set to 6/1.

Thanks.. Not sure it makes a huge difference but on mine 6/1 tightened up my rollers on helix.. seems to increase backshift though.

Terry, can you post your rpms, from initial flash to top speed, with the reverse helix (33/39??) please.

Traditionally with 4s torque we want to flash lower on torque and build rpms on top speed, but it seems by your posts the turbo likes to drop down rpms on top end to build more speed? Just want to understand your setup bud.

thnx

Stock helix - my run would be 8,900 - 9,000 -9,100 - 9,100 - 9,000 - and finish off at 8,9XX

Reverse angle - 9,200 - 9,200 - 9,100 - 9,000 - 8,900 - and finish at 8,8XX

This is why the sled will stand up so easy, because of the reverse angle helix
