Wow... I'm glad and supprised to hear that the different clutch/spur combo your using worked out, up to this point, djdrager. I certaintly can't blame you for getting whatever CB & spur the LHS had. Did you notice any difference in the way your buddy meshed up the spur compared to your way? IF so,..try for that same feel that he set it at, for a refference in your minds eye. And by the way, good Job, DJ. Now,...The first thing you'll probably want to do is, get down to the LHS and order the CB/Spur combo's that are COOL. Pardon my humor DJ, but with the gearing you have now, and those T-maxx rims & tires, you can probably do laps in third gear around my toaster, right?...lol. Order a 17/47 for sure. A 18/49 or 19/52 combos will give you more gearing options...A 16t CB is a secret weapon for super tourqe. When you bought you new CB, did it come with a gear ratio chart?...If not, there's one here at HPISF that you can see. Give it a good once or twice over, DJ. It will help you see the gear power to tourqe sinario's more clearly. You'll notice that these gears have some interchangabillity. You can experiment with them for different proformance applications. Also, you may notice that the little Savster tends to wind up too much and doesn't like to shift with the 13 or 14T CB's. This is because the truck comes with the tranny's shift points favoring the standard gear ratio's and sould be re-adjusted to conform to a quicker shift points, if your going to continue using the 13 or 14 CB. I consider these CB's as "Special Application CB's" and rarely ever use them. Although, they do have a purpose. They are best used for short tracks with many turns or for a bigA$$ tires. You'll need in tons of tourqe for over-sized treads. That doesn't mean you shouldn't give them a run, just be aware of their strong points, like all the gears share. Keep us posted on the Spur/CB change and what your thoughts are, DJ.
