buying a helix tuesday, add your opionion

[sledhead_583]

finally tuesday im buying a helix and im going to try and apply my little knowledge about angles. sled is 153 m6(stock except clutching) and i ride flatland powder, around 2500-3000 feet. i have cutler adjustable weights and shift assist, cat recommends a 44/40 helix, in now is a straight 36

from other people i talked to i was thinking of getting something along the lines of a 46/43/40 progressive or a 44,41,38 .

is this to much angle, im mostly looking for more acceloration and cant afford any speed loss. What do you experts think?

44,41,38 .

I'm gonna say make it a 36 finish angle for top end...44 start angle, and either 3 angle (middle 38), or progressive. Won't be the best in deep, but should be ok, and will pull hard and topend good...if you want better deep snow/climbing helix, drop down to 42 starting angle progressive.

what the difference between a 36 finishing angle or a 40 finishing angle?

 

[furthur]

The second, or last number in the helix spec is the angle of the helix at full shift out. Is that what your asking? Or do you wanna know why a 36 might be better than a 40? 36 provides more belt squeeze, and you will shift out further, ultimately, with a 36. A 40 will shift up faster, but may not (on a diamond drive sled), shift all the way out, and may not have enough belt grip.

Thank you very much,I'll get a 44/36 progressive or at the most a 44/38.
