Ditch the 35/39?

[fourload]

Last year stock I ran the high rate low preload thunder orange primary spring in the primary with stock weights. In the secondary I ran a 35/39 dalton helix with the thunder orange secondary spring wrapped at 40. I put 1300 hard miles on this setup and it worked really good. Nice low engagement, great back shift, good top end ,very smooth overall and no belt problems with little belt dust from the dirty JP belt. I could always beat my friends stocker.
This year I will be running Powertrail and MS 16 SM. Probably keeping it at MS16 unless I get really crappy gas. I have Dalton 70s but want to play with the stock weights also. Will the 35/39 slip on the top end at this power level or should I go back to the stock 35? I plan on trying both the thunder and dalton orange secondary springs. I will be using the xs 825 belt. Offset hasn’t been touched from stock @ 60mm.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!! Add more weight to your dalton flyweights for the added HP and keep on sendin it!

Sounds like you have a pretty good combo for your stocker, so yeah easy way is to just add some weight to your Dalton QAY 70 for the Max Spool 16 whereas you already have their primary spring. I did not find any slipping on top with my 35/39. I was told that the 35/39 would help keep your WOT rpms in check. I tested both with my Max Spool 16 and preferred the 35/39 last year. I also played with both the QAY70 and stock weights, but I did not have the Dalton primary spring that you speak of. I also like low engagement and an overall smooth set up that will spin 8950- 9050 once WOT. So have fun testing your combos and let us know what you settle with!

Dennis,he has the thunder orange primary and thunder orange secondary springs,they both work good in certain applications,i will again run thunder orange primary and orange secondary again this year. The thunder orange primary is smooth engagement and pulls hard right through to top end,dont be afraid to try that primary dennis,i think you will like it.

Yes I do plan on utilizing my QAY70 again, once I also get their primary and secondary springs.
Gonna be a bit whereas I needed a track, studs, new SJ, all shocks freshened and suspension components repaired!
And where it runs so dam good with my current set up and the fact that I have a pretty full plate for the next month pertaining to family time and adventures!

Next sled expenditures will be belts and springs!

No one ever said this is a cheap sport!
