I
Let me preface by saying I searched the forums and didn't find quite what I was after.
I ride a 2017 M8000 with the TEAM clutches. I ride between 1500 - 3000 feet in elevation, and I have the primary clutch re-elevation kit from AC installed. I'm revving 8150 at WOT, so I think the primary is set up okay, but the problem I'm having is that half of my riding is on trail and I'm having a bit of trouble keeping up as I don't ride WOT all the time and run comfortably around 55 - 60 mph.
Tell me if what I'm about to do sounds within the ballpark; I'm planning on jumping from a 19T upper chain gear to a 22T. That should jump my top speed from 80 MPH to around 92, but my bottom end power may suffer a little, so can I get a different helix to fix this? Maybe a progressive helix to keep the low end grunt where it is, but even out up top to keep my RPM's down a little bit?
The sled has all the power it needs to get to top speed, I just feel that I'm not using 100% of the engine's potential. The only other mods done are GGB Mountain Can which shouldn't make any different. This machine has the 3" powerclaw on it.
Thanks for any comments, concerns and help you may provide!
