going slower

[canuck1000]

I recently cut my track down to 1" also went with smaller studs and went from 162 studs down to 108 studs also added 8" wheels with the offset axle.changed out all stock wheels to the 5.35" wheels. before this I could easily get in the 120's at 10,500rpm and with only 200 miles on sled now i'm having hard time getting 113 on speedo. since then i've added the cr10 plugs and ram air and still no top end. and now I have about 700 miles on it,sled is a 08 apex ltx gt. and i'm still reving 10,500rpm. and also it seems really strong on the bottom and mid range it just feels like something is holding it back on hte top.

doesn't make sense, are your hyfax binding up?

Put back ALL the original wheels.

how would the larger wheels slow it down?

 

[LazyBastard]

By sticking out.

 

[canuck1000]

so you think the wheels would make that much of a difference. what about track tension, i don't have a scale but where the track hangs down the most its about 1 1-4". could that be to tight, or to loose, could it be balooning

with my 135mm wheels, my track glides, i got alot more top end, when you put the 135mm wheels on did you get your holder's saved down so they didn't rub

i'm using the 6205 bearings got the outsides ones machined flush, and the insides 0.060"

i don't think it your wheels, i set mine with the doo wheels 135mm all 6 wheel, the narrower hyfax (old style yamaha ones), the slp anti-wear pads, in the closed holes, pulled up one on the limiter and run my track as loose as possible so it doesn't rachet, never had a problem on my attak, done 117 on radar, my track glides

Goes to show everyone how good these sleds run stock.

Your spinning? How far of a distance are you running?

 

[canuck1000]

sledfreak i think you maybe right it feels like the powers there but just not going anywhere, i'll try adding more studs and see how that works.

If you were spinning I think your speedo would be reading higher?????

sledfreak, i see your running 1.450, do they bite good, also, how close to the exchanger are they

Well i addedd more studs, brought my co up from 7 to 10 loosened my track 2 full turns and the most likely thing i think ,was i forgot that when i had my suspension out i adjusted my control rod to min transfer put it back to almost max. i'm back in front of my buddies F-1000 with Y-pipe mod, and top end kit.
