First ride with maxflow and big venom.

Ok... I changed the primary back to stock spring instead of the bop and went 6-2 wrap on the secondary.
Just on the stand I can tell the stock spring engages higher but I can live with a little higher engagement if that's what it takes. If that's not enough I will drop some weight in the tip.
Will test tomorrow on the snow.
I figured I'd give the big venom kit a true test with the stock spring before I start changing weights.

I know the 6-2 is supposed to be better for deeper snow but how do it affect trail riding conditions like top speed, economy, etc???
I have no problems with loosing some top speed for better deep snow performance.

Tested today with the big venom kit and stock primary spring.
I like the engagement of the bop spring but I found the stock spring has more snap on take off.
Conditions were good, lots of hookup.
The max Rpms are now at 9000.
The sled has way more snap now but bumps the rev limiter at take off.
I guess I could add some weight on the heel but I may wait till I try it in the deep stuff.
Really pleased now!!!
Thanks guys

I am running the Maxflow/Sandale exhaust with the Big Venom kit. OSP adjuster on the secondary with the Gates 8DN. 2016 XTX LE with the Backcountry 1.75" track. I am wrapped 6-1 on the Secondary. My best is 97 MPH @ 8750 RPM. Very close to my goal of 100 MPH. Wicked sound and snap in the throttle. I am thinking of an air intake but I am not sure if it is wise to run without a fuel controller?

I never looked at the mph yesterday but rpm seems right on.
