Topic: noram star clutch gearing questions

[Nicks]

Ok so im running a horizontal 16 hp vanny with a two barrel and some internal work,spins about 4500 rpm,i run 8" rears and am using a 6:1 gearing
15 to 30 then 16 to 48
Im using the noram star with a 15 tooth but i ordered a new clutch and its a 16 tooth,i can use my 15 tooth drum but my main question is....will the 16 tooth drum help me more or less on the track? Its a 1/8 mile oval
or would i be better just using the 15? And also have questions about springs too

[docbro]

16 tooth on the drum will give a little more top end at the expense of torque out of the corner.

Well its a small big track lol so id love to have more torque so i can just get it out of the corners but top end is nice but only if its a lil bit bigger track

[Nicks]

Ok so if im spinning about 4500 is it better to just use the stock springs that are 2500 or are the white springs that engage at 2800?

[Nicks]

Anyone suggestions on springs??

[Gui961]

i always ran the blue one i think 3000, the stock red one whant to engage at idle.

[Nicks]

I also ordered a set of the white ones that are 2800 so those will prob work better for me,the stocks engage at idle for you? That idle seems a little high then
