Im going to say get a rear 43 that should put you REAL close to where you where. Keep the higher gearing with you, If the track goes dry-slick you will want to be able to put the higher gearing back on and make the motor chug a little more.

If things are really bad just rember you have a clutch there Feather that sum bich, fiber plates arnt that expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_flagel222 Posted July 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 i had to feather the clutch alot last race with them new tires... gearing was off as i said, hopefully that dirt digger clutch will hold up to the abuse.... thanks again for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet, Im glad it worked out for ya. Also rember The more the tires spin the hotter they get, increasing the pressure. Check your pressure as soon as you pull off the track some time.

rb0804 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Also rember The more the tires spin the hotter they get, increasing the pressure we used to run nitrogen in the tires when we were road racing the RX-7 because the nitrogen doesnt change pressure as it gets hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOS_350x Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 we used to run nitrogen in the tires when we were road racing the RX-7 because the nitrogen doesnt change pressure as it gets hot Well the nitrogen will expand some but its nearley un noticeable. The biggest advangete i see in running the nitrogen is to warm up the tires on the start (i never do) 2 ways to look at that 1, Warming up the tire before the start leaves you with hot sticky rubber thus hooking up good. Also making the tire consistant in the race. 2, Warming the tire causes increased pressure thus leaving you with a higher inflated tire that wont grab as much, I personaly dont heat them, IF i ran nitrogen I WOULD, RB that is something i completely forgot about. A tank of nitrogen from a welding shop woudnt bee too much and last you a LONG time, 2000 psi filling little things like we run would take a while to use up.
