trying to gain speed

what should i do to make my 05 targa (with a tecnigas next exhaust, size 60 jet and stock air filter with holes drilled in) faster? any advice is appreciated

Re: trying to gain speed

Well, you're in NJ already, so you should be seeing 55mph by now.

Geesh, how fast do you want to go?!

Rj why do you say i should be seeing 55 by now? you mean thats how fast u think i should be going? cuz im only pushin 40

Re: trying to gain speed

he means that in a sarcasted way as everyone in nj seems to be going the speed of light with bit-turbos

Re: trying to gain speed

What rear sprocket r u running

Re: trying to gain speed

my friends have bi-turbos and im beating them with my tecnigas. im running on stock sprockets, i bought a 20 for the rear and it wouldnt mesh with the chain what should i do about that?

Re: trying to gain speed

it wouldn't mesh with the chain meaning your chain was too long? if that's the case, then maybe you should shorten it.

Re: trying to gain speed

how would i shorten it? and i went from a 22 tooth rear to a 20 tooth so in that case yeah i guess the chain is too long. could i maybe go up 2 teeth on my front sprocket instead of cutting the chain to even it out do you think that would work?

buy a link remover from walmart. they are only 6 bucks. bike section.

Re: trying to gain speed

ohh ok and i can just remove the links from the chain to fit the sprockets? but what if i went down 2 teeth on the rear sprocket and added 2 teeth on the front sprocket would it even out or you think i should just remove the links on the rear? i guess ill try both maybe

Re: trying to gain speed

Find a big hill to ride down, that always helps me gain speed.

Re: trying to gain speed

adding 2 in the front will increase your gear ratio so much you won't be able to start from a stop with out running. i would think a 22 should be fine but idk about tomos. lastly how did you get that 40mph? the 55 mph was a reference to a stereotype on here which is 9/10ths of the time true. taking a link out of a chain is pretty easy only takes about 15 min
