Here is some feedback from IBABAD1 after Blackjohn gave him this information on changing the primary spring and shimming the secondary with 5/16 lock washers in which I have done also
First, I did try the spring without the washers. Just the spring, the rpms
went up to 10500-10600 and held pretty good. The top end increased
to 110 area. With the washers added the rpm was the same but
the top end went to 118 area, and it did seem to pull better above 100.
I was pulling away from the F-7 in a major way above 110.
Second, I should explain to that I only use a RADAR GUN and SPEED
CHECK. The speedo is way off. I have seen 129 and 131 with this
set up on the speedometor. I use to see 112-115 before set up.
Secondary spring was set at 6-3. I think 6-1 would be better!

They both have the same engine... It comes down to whos the better tuner and setup and traction!!
If his rx is a 03 with stock track.. then i would give you the advantage!

The farther you go, the closer it will be, until the RX1 pulls ahead.
