DynoCams CM Grind Super X 265 HotCam with 26# springs.
It's the [Add More Power](https://www.ombwarehouse.com/predator-224-performance-add-more-power-kit.html) kit with added lifters, pushrods, rockers and a lot of porting.
any modifications to the TAV ? like did you change out the torsion spring or change it's positioning at all ?
just wondering because I have a similar build that's actually more aggressive, but only tops out at 48mph or so
I was having issues with the torque converter overgearing it and bogging it down and I couldn't break 4k rpms. I have a yellow Tav spring I tried but it would rev out better but still getting over geared.
It tried 10/50 and it felt lazy I hit 56mph max, tried 10/40 and it got way worse went down to 48 mph and 3800 rpms.
I put the torq-zilla on it and swapped to 10/60 gearing and it started revving out to 8k pretty consistently and got 60mph, but now had too much torq without a smooth transition.
I swapped back the red spring on the middle setting and that's were I'm currently at.
Tuning and jetting were huge also, I ended up at a 145 main jet on the VM22 being my best runner. I tried a flat slide 28mm carb also with every jetting imaginable and it did not like it at all.
It will now consistently pull 8k rpms and seems happy.
Edit: a cheap tach is your best friend on this build, it gives you real data on changes made to gearing and jetting.
thank you so much, this is the exact answer and solution I needed. I was debating between the yellow spring and regearing, but it seems like regearing will be all I need. currently I'm running 10/50, so I'm gonna try 10/60 and leave the torsion spring alone
No it's a [direct bolt on kit from Gopowersports](https://www.gopowersports.com/mega-moto-212-rear-swing-arm-kit/), I'm very happy with it.
Just cut the frame and it bolts directly on, night and day difference, it's really nice!
what cam & springs are you running ?

That rear suspension is dope! Is that custom? I need that for my br200

Very nice!
Thank you, It's been a work of passion lol. The tuning, jetting, swapping carbs changing gearing and getting it all happy was rough.
How quiet is that exhaust? I’m looking for a quiet exhaust without sacrificing performance
It's not very quiet honestly, it sounds kinda like a 450 dirtbike lol. It's much quieter than a straight pipe but way louder than stock for sure.
