Tighten it all the way down. If you go to www.savage-central.com and read up on what people are doing with thier bigger engines, you will see that guys using Wasp's and Picco's are doing this. With the Sirio I think it is a V.good idea.

i run the picco 26 which makes pretty strong power, running the stock 52 or 49 tooth gear and tighten them all the way down and then off 1/4 turn, and have had no problems. also make sure you are using a friction pad on the spur. one more thing..... your slipper spring may be weak, consider replacing it with that big engineif you have any amount of run time on it. backing it off a 1/4 turn is important though for the harder landings on power to keep some of the stress off you transmission and related components.
