is it possible to kill the bottom end on a 7 port with out running 180 degrees? my local track is covered with dirt, or really slick in the same day. absolutely no traction. I switched from the dynamite bottom end pipe to an old Nova 9886 and that helped, mbut i still need more but im just dying to let it stretch its legs and run

or try some better tires...
I don't see the 7 being that brutal.
But if it is, i would try the clutch bell first, then shoes, then springs.
But it could be something else like tires or Diff/Shock setup that is making your car loose.

i run a mbx 5 prospec. ive been running the same setup for a while now, and the track just got too bad. I tried like 3 or 4 sets of tires, didnt mess with the clutch because ive never ran anything but 13 or 14, 1.0 springs alum. shoes. the only thing that changed was from 7 to 6 in the center diff from the race a day before, and the engine and pipe. i raised the idle screw raised the bottom (rich) and top. running 180* and still spinning coming out of the corners. I was running a novarossi 3 port hot mod so i i could feel a top end difference but didt think it had crazy bottom until i got on the track.

Try 5-5-1 in the diffs, 14 tooth clutch bell and back the rear sway bar off a bit.
I found in my car 7 in the centre diff was way too much for the rear end and spun out alot, since i changed to 5k in the centre its alot better.

also go up on antisquat, and go long wheelbase this helped me with the 3 port, what temp gun are you using, do you have alot of smoke on bottom, sound like you may be lean on bottom and rich on top

I run my 3 port race in practise yesterday.



It only has 14tanks through it and was running rich(tooooo rich).
It has great bottom end power and couldn't judge the top since i didn't want to push it too hard but it was looking good in the mid rpm, pulling hard!!
I was running an OS P6 plug with the GO pipe at around 200F.
