Topic: more torque

[720 dominator]

Iv been building a race mower for the past few weeks now

I have top end speed but I can't get any good low end torque I don't have the money to build a bad I will clean up my language. motor and was hoping I could just regear the belt system with a jack ssaft an get more torque  

[BlueShamu]

So, what have you done to get the top end? If you had the $$ laying around, what would you do to get that bottom end torque?

[stvn_VA]

I would first consider using a smaller drive pulley to achieve torque.  Of course that will cost top end speed.   It's all about reaching a good compromise.

So far all iv done is unhook gov an do a pulley swap an lighten it up I'm able to reach top speed of 33 MPH sofar I'm looking for about  40 is there anything I can do like change my pulleys and run it to a jacksaft and up the ratio to keep top end speed?

If all you care about is speed , Then what you could do is chain it to rear of your truck. Have a friend pull you until you just can't stand any more !!!  Since I hav'nt heard any thing about any other saftey aspect's

What about brakes steering kill switch and wheel and axle upgrades.

Oh, Yes forgot to tell him to hook his saftey theater to truck's Ing. so when he crashed he would'nt drag his contrapion two miles down the road and mess up his paint job LOL!!

720,

  What drivetrain are you running?  Transaxle?  Transmission & sprockets?  Pulley sizes?

Ok yes I do  a tether kill and IM running a 700  5 speed peerless gear box gear box to a,straight axel I just changed to the gear box I hadn't been able to test it yet BC I just put it in... But I need more low end torque to get of the corner faster an I just don't have enough to get out quick enough and I'll b runnimg pullies an a belt to the gear box then chain to the Axel
And I'm also running like a 6 in disc break hydrolic at that

I run a 6" on engine and 3" on trans and it's pretty snappy I also have 8 tooth on trans and 48 on axle
