Guess I could've gone lower on the fdr, but didn't seem worth the time to swap out the spur, as the pinion I used was large as I could go.
Am I missing something, or is that about all I'm gonna get out of the Spec motor?
On a positive note, the new chassis was fantastic!
Rob, I could a told you it's weak and only good against other spec motors. I have a Motiv MC4 21.5 Dyno tuned if you want to try it out.
