I have not played with mine yet but it is my next project to fiddle with it until I know its operating fully. Once I get that pulley opening all the way I want to lower my gearing a bit in order to get more pull but still have the stock top speed. Im hitting a little over 45 now and looking to get back around 40 with lower gears.
I have a bunch of new parts sitting on my bench right now, I have tom's 2 valve head that I hand ported myself and he shaved it .030, I have a new gates belt, stock new variator and fan and I have 11 gram sliders coming and I just installed reverse yesterday and I ordered a 39 tooth sprocket with a new chain my goal is to have a top speed of 40 but I want it to get there quickly that's why I went with 39 tooth sprocket
