just put a shock wave in my sled and i'm looking forward to using it if u need more information on this unit call darren at e&s he's the man in northern alberta. By what he told me is it's very easy to ajust whenever u need too.

Strait 47 in mine

Just do yourself a favour and get a straight 47 and a purple cat spring. The shockwaves are hard on clutch buttons and don't help belt life either.
I know at least 20 people who have taken them off in the last yr, so if you really want one there are lot's around.
If you have proper clutching, you should never have to adjust the helix. Proper RPM tuning is done in with the primary.

that is what I thought......just was not sure......so Im better off to get adjustable weights in the primary?

Actually I think it's DTYA-2.
the other way to clutch is try to figure out how much power you want to make and set your boost for clutching.
For example if you know that 85 gr weights will be about 300 hp, then run 85 gr weights and adjust your boost as needed for rpms. So on a high pressure day you might only have to run 15-16 lbs to pull 85 gr at 10500-10700 rpm and low pressure days you would have to run 17-19 lbs to pull the same weights at the same RPM.
The net result is the same horsepower.

nice way to do it but to change the weights on a apex u have to take the clutch off and a lot of work if u want to drive at home plus to find what your helix is u may have to try a few different ones. I'm only running a stage one sc so i'm not running the big horsepower so hopefully I don't have the problems u have described.

You dont have to take the primary off to change weights on an Apex. Just have to spread and clamp it.... Once you change to Daltons, you never have to pull them ever again. They have allen head screw that go in from the heel of the weight. Can add all the weight u need for home in 60 seconds......
I hated the Shockwave, I found it so inconsistant and hard on buttons.

can anyone tell me is there a rule of tumb for weights......1g more will lower RPM by how much? I want to get adjustable daltons but there was two kits if I remember from looking at the catalog......one was a $100 more from what I remember and both were adjustable? do I really need the more expensive or can I get by with the cheaper ones?
