Well...........
I took the two renegades....as I thought
But got beat pretty bad by the machz
Machz has.........144 1.375 woodys picks w/ 1" track all stock w/clicker set on 3 and all reflash updates
My F1000 has......153 1.175 woodys picks w/1" track all stock w/plastic blocks removed left in the aluminum round pc.
The Mackz pretty much crushed me at all types of race, roll on ,drag, me getting the hole shot, etc.
I think the stock clutching in the f1000 is way off. There is no way the machz should beat me that bad stock for stock. I think there was some advantage to him running those 1.375 pins(they look like daggers on that 1" track)but not that much.
I mean at one point I got him out of the hole real good and thought(I got him!)only to have him literally pull up on me and slap my ass as he went by! wtslap
So we looked over each others machines to see what was up.(we all bust each other but we are really the best of friends) My buddy (machz) observed what my machine was doing while I raced the renegades.
What he found was that when I left the line no matter what I did my track would just grenade out of the hole losing tons of off the line traction. Almost as if I had high engagement clutch kit.
So we looked at the machz which was engaging at 2800rpms. While my f1000 was coming in at 3800rpms.
Also all the way down the pond I was revving 7500 and over..(we were able to get to 100 before shut down time)
So my sled comes in at 3800rpms and holds 7500 all the way. Now I not a cat master or anything but from what I've read that just doesn't seem right.
We are going to come back to the pond for round two later in the month. After I "dial in" my sled.
Now I know on the machz if your over revving you can change you clicker to 6 different positions but what can I do on the cat?
I don't what any ypipes, boondockers,pipes,porting,or anything. I think the sled has the power to beat the machz on its own set up properly.
My questions are this.
Can I open up the airbox via bullseyes or slp without worrying about warranty issues?
What can I do about the clutching? Does it sound like its as far off as I think seat of pants?
As far as hook up I will be pulling my pins and installing 1.375s.
Any input is more than welcome. Sorry for such a long post, But I just can't believe that machz had that much more power than me. I'd pull 5 lengths on him and he would over take me and walk right by! SOMETHING IS JUST NOT RIGHT! There dyno numbers are the same cats just not putting the power to the ground!
