I would like to know if there is a difference between running what we currently run which is a 17/63 to 17/58, to if we switched to like a 15 tooth and whatever that sprocket equivalent would be.
It's an 1/8th mile oval, and my son is running one of those mini wedges and it's built to turn left as wide open as we can get it. It's a blue plate clone. And any information is appreciated.Kinda loaded question here, but hope this helps, it’s just my opinion and we all know what that means… if you’re on a wide open momentum track go with the larger clutch driver, but if it’s a on and off throttle corners, you will benefit going smaller on the clutch driver… some will say ratio is ratio but my experience tells there there is gains and losses to the theory..
First big difference with a 17/58 and a 17/63 what RPM readings are you getting with each , should be low a Blue plate clone should avg 6500 RPM a 17 driver is to big for a 1/8 th mile track for that engine package , a 15 / 60 would be much closer If it's momentum , If it's higher drops it's smaller driver .It's an 1/8th mile oval, and my son is running one of those mini wedges and it's built to turn left as wide open as we can get it.

It's actually a 1/5th mile oval. And I'm only getting peak 5200 rpms. We also can't tune our engines at all. The most I can do is set the valve springsFirst big difference with a 17/58 and a 17/63 what RPM readings are you getting with each , should be low a Blue plate clone should avg 6500 RPM a 17 driver is to big for a 1/8 th mile track for that engine package , a 15 / 60 would be much closer If it's momentum , If it's higher drops it's smaller driver .

What do you mean, you cannot tune your engines?It's actually a 1/5th mile oval. And I'm only getting peak 5200 rpms. We also can't tune our engines at all. The most I can do is set the valve springs
We can put new springs and I just valve lash. I've never thought about adjusting the spark plug gap. And I don't know what the coil air gap is. I'm still relatively new to this.What do you mean, you cannot tune your engines?
Set the valve springs? Or adjust valve lash.
Simply adding an outerwear, or different foamy can be a tuning adjustment.
Float level?
Coil air gap? Spark plug gap, or type/ heat range?
All these things are tuning.
