Wanted to show some measurements and in no way cutting STM just realize they are cutting/measuring helixes different. I believe Dalton’s measure same as Yamaha and the SSI one I have. Two straight 38 and the stock 35

Yes Mike Knapp pointed this out and inserted my foot into my mouth! Lol. Been running the STM for many miles. I knew it was steep. When I got it and put it in I was like damn that looks steep. But figured why not run it!! This was AFTER I blew 2 belts in the first 400-500 miles using heavy weights and stock helix 17 Windèr. I wanted more helix and WAY LESS weight I got it!

Gforce division is tunning whit 45*straight. It is a little too much for me...

I was trying to remember who it was!!! I remember reading about someone running a big helix two years ago. Okay so I’m not delusional with a 45 helix. Lol
 
That angle finder is slick...another tool I can justify buying lol
