Ask Six, when we were at the track in StLouis, his buggy would catch me easily in the first half of the straight, then the RPM's would reach the powerband and I would pull away from him.

The Crappy low end is the main reason MOST people don't like the Kanai. I liked it. Kinda sounds like a 2-speed buggy.

there is plenty of low on the keni motor if its tuned right.the hesitent takeoff is due to a miss adjusted mid setting.

In practice I could....Racing I couldn't though of course. That was when the low was slobbery rich and it had some punch though...

Matt, I would say leave the LSN where it is. Richen the HSN about 1/4 turn, and see the difference. You will still have the top end, but it should help keep enough fuel flowing to keep it from lean bogging when you get right back on throttle.

Oh, and DON'T adjust the mid range....

I'm with rocco. Get rid of that 15T bell already!!! Stick in a 13T

15 tooth is way too big for that. 13t 14t tops......
Dont mess with the mid needle, you have to adjust LSN also when messing with the mid. If you havent found the mid needle yet, chances are you dont have a mid needle. leave it alone anyway.

Yeah, I agree with Rocco. Switch to a 13t Clutchbell, and leave the low speed needle where it is. Work a little with the High speed needle.

I read somewhere that the "mid-range" needle on the Kanai is a factory Flow setting, and shouldn't be messed with.


Other than that, if you decide (from one of your previous posts) to sell the Kanai, I want first dibs. That'll scream in the Inferno GT with the 2-speed.

that might be a HSN problem IMO. How's the car feel running it around 1/4 throttle ? Check them clutch shoes too. You might have some glazing going on there. I had a problem last year at a DD race. My P5 sounded almost like yours does. It turned it to be the clutch springs were worn out.
