Re: 8:1 high speed gears?
No disrespect Matt...
I really don't have much experience with KF82 8hp engines, except from what I've read here... But, it's to my understanding that they're a good strong engine when they're run within their limits, and, if you push those limits, (which your doing already) you can pretty much count on replacing the engine sooner then later! And that would be "10 fold" when adding high speed gears! my .02 |

Atta' boy Matt!
With the 8:1 gears, You'll lose some torque but, you should get 6+ mph from them, and depending how nice you get the clone tuned, you could get upwards of 35-40 mph! |
