I run 81/20 with a 7.5 and Tekin speedie. My speedie set up is attached.
I'd suggest your pretty close with 21/85 try my set up without the boost maybe.

Thanks for the tips. i will try your set up Cameo.

@Cameo: tried your set up today and the car was really smooth, and not to warm either. but now i got another problem, my spur gear, i have destroyed 2 today. and the only thing i can see is that the motormount isnt 100% straight, can it be that causes destroyed spur gear?

I'm glad the setup worked.

Can you explain "destroyed" a little more please. Is it the all of the top just part of the spur or what?

Which motor mount do you have the cast iron (chrome) or new light weight one (black)?

Also check if the whole slipper assembly has forward to back play. I have put 2 or 3 shims in mine to prevent it moving around under acceleration or breaking

the motormount i have is the one that comes with it. not the black one. the hole top of the spur is gone(rinsed?) i was thinking maybe i have tightened the slipper too much, the manual says 3,5mm, but i have it on 2mm. and i cant feel any movement of the spur at all.
