It wasn't anywhere near as quick as the GM combo, didn't have the punch or top end, moved things around to try and get it there, but didn't seem to make much difference. I didnt really move the gearing around that much as i presumed that this combo likes a high ratio.

Anyone running in the UK up against the very quick GM's and other speedos that can show me how to make this combo work. I switched back to my GM combo and took over .75 sec a lap off the lap time..

Any help would be appreciated as i want to stick with SP.

Cheers

What is the actual size of the track? Looking at the website settings, I would think they are too aggressive (too much timing to fast) making the motor seem sluggish on bigger tracks.

It took a day of racing to get my 17.5 settings working well, so there is some tinkering required but the reward was worth it .
