helix's , I have no idea what to get

[sledhead_583]

Im running a 07 m6 153 at about 3000 ft elevation, i love the sled and it has been clutched in the primary but the secondary hasnt been touched, cat recommends a 44/40 helix and now a stock 36 is in it, is it worth spending 150+ dollars up here in canada for one or should i just leave it alone? Im also getting a shift assist if that matters... sled is all stock except clutching. What should I do? Im happy now but maybe i would be happier how would it effect my top speed and acceloration? thanks

 

[sledhead_583]

any suggestions or should i just get a stock 44/40?

i'm in the same boat,but i left mine stock with the 36,but i upgraded the secondary.Personally i'd leave it in,i checked and a Dalton helix and cap run $200

Stay with the 36* , 44/40 is to steep for good shift sequence. Shift assist is a good help.

black diamond extreme sells them for 65 bucks, no adjuster needed, so i think ill get one of those but which one??? i would hate to lose performace

I would get the BDX one. Love mine

Also, set it up like the 06 and get the adjuster, shift assist, etc. The 07 on up helix setup is stupid if you ask me.

Glenn after comming from a M7 setup, i definitly hear you on the 07 up helix/cap being retarded. How did you go about running the older style helix/end cap with the tension adjuster? That would be choice!

You can order either style helix from BDX. With the older style helix you need to also order the adj cam conversion kit. you might as well go with the adjustable style if you are changing.

with the adjustable one what will it enable me to do differently compared to what i can do now? more belt pressure? isnt the newer style adjustable by taking out or adding spacers? or is that just the deflection

It should help you get out quicker to peek rpms

 

[sledhead_583]

^^^^^ is that the only diffence a helix does??? because i could always use more acceloration as long as i dont lose anymore speed.

I went with the 44/40

I just put on a 44/40 the other weekend and it really helped me out on the bottom but now i'm thinking about throwing some 57/63 gears in it too.
