Here you go. Too much discussion about this and no pictures. I dont have the unmodified weight unfortunately and didnt have an unmodifed governor around to weigh and this one had some weight removed previously. Id guess the unmodifed weight is between 14.5g and 15g. I also included a pic of the 8-32 nylon machine screw that i use to retain the governor spring. I had previously used a steel screw but it was too heavy. I removed a total of approximately 2.25g from the weight including the difference between the steel and nylon screw. The screw is loc-tited into the threaded hole in the weight. Just find the appropriate tap for an 8-32 thread and tap away. The hole is already the correct size. It previously shifted around 5300 with a NL converter. It should be around 5800 rpm now. Notice how thin the edge of the weight is after removing the metal. The 10 tooth green drive gear is for 28" tall tires with a 3.42 rear in case you wondered why its not the stock orange one. Use it with the blue speedometer driven gear that comes stock in a BR coded 200-4R and you will be within a few % on the speedometer. Sorry about the quality of the pics. It was my camera phone.

Might similar results be obtained by drilling the verticals for the top half or so?
(Don't think I'm steady enough to go that thin without courting disaster).
I understand the relationship between distance from center of rotation and centripetal force, but the verticals have a lot of meat available.
Thanks for the pictures.

from memory
Stock 87 GN weight
Small--14.3 grams
Large--33.6 grams
The 85 BQ is slightly heavier.

Im not sure what effect it would have. It would take a lot more grinding to get the same effect as grinding further from the center of rotation though. The most sensitive area is the face of the weight.
My original post stated to use a 10 tooth drive gear and a stock driven gear for 28"tires. Thats only if you have a 4.10 ring and pinion, not a 3.42 rear. With 3.42 gears and a 275/60-15 tire you need a 12 tooth driver and 31 tooth driven. Sorry for the confusion.
It would have been nice if you remembered that yesterday!!!
Quit your bitching. Ill get you the correct driven gear. Balls deep in CT!
Im going to send my foot up his a$$! He needs a 31 tooth driven and hes good to go. I have the same gear and same exact tire in mine and its very close with the 12/31 combo.
Dont mind us. We break each others balls daily. At least i get laid once in a while
unlike him.
