mini dub thanks for taking the time to get back to me. I did run the 17.5 fixed timed motor tonight in my SCT and overall it wasn't bad at all. I found the motor to have a good amount of snap and my laptimes were very close to my normal 17.5 I run. I ran it twice overall with my same settings I use on my other 17.5 that also has about 10 degrees extra timing and it help its own. Laptimes say I was within a tenth so with more time on it I can even make the fixed timing one a little faster so either way I would say these motor run very well. Very nice overall.
Its going to be ineteresting to see what else you guys come up with. Everything The Hidden Hanger has from you guys is pretty cool. Nice that I get to try it out.
Also had another guy try out the fixed timed 13.5 in his dirt oval car and found out that it to was very fast even with no extra timing in the motor. His laptimes again were very good overall. He thought with a little messing around on the speedo he could of made the one test one go as fast as his higher timed 13.5 he normally uses.
Not a problem, glad you got a chance to try the pre-production samples. Sorry those samples had fixed timing, when you get yourself a production motor with fully adjustable timing I'm confident it will outperform your old motor. The timing increase on the motor itself greatly improves the low to mid range powerband, as well as adding some straightaway rpm. Did you guys make sure to gear up from the other motors? Our motors are high watts and have lots of torque, despite being super smooth, so they prefer a taller gear.
