I've got the one-way in. I've got a gang of other cars but whenever I pull the voner out I do well. It took me to a 3rd in a-main last week so I'm going to focus on it now.
I just picked up a 27t pulley and I'm running the zac 26/32mm setup. I was wondering what handling/speed characteristics the large pulleys do to the car.

Patelladragger, a larger differential in the front of the car(underdrive) will give the car more steering when entering a turn. If you install the larger diff in the rear(overdrive), you will acheive more steerng when exiting a turn. As for speed, just gear the car so you have the same overall gear ratio as you had before.

ok - i'm trying to understand all that. If more steering coming out with overdrive - why do people say use one-way if you run overdrive, and why do they say use overdrive if you're running the inched-up foams?
I had thought the overdrive pulley went on the front - now I'm a little lost where to put it.

You may also play around with tire size to obtain different characteristic of the car.

Manticore hit the OD/UD nail on the head. Just think of a smaller tire(diameter) as a smaller diff. Visa vesa for a bigger tire. Now experiment w/the pulleys to find a good setup for the surface you race on.

PS- The 27T you got is not for O/D it is std on R. You want 25T (or Mugen 24T

Original 25/19=1.316 at 24/18=1.333......slight difference which you should be able to easily take out with tire size!!

Mind you.....I looked at my RR belt last night...it is still the original.....the belt has stretched a LOT and is now more flexible than the Xray belts!!!! certainly sorted out any clearance problems!!!! although it will only come back again when you change to new belt!!!
