Ya know, Smorks, I just did the same thing, but I kinda like it.
I tried the 12 and 14 gram slider combo in the stock variator, and it was too high in RPMs annd kinda dudley, so I went with the 16 and 12 combo, and it started out fine, but at 45 miles an hour the RPMs dropped from 5500 to 4000 and it was like finding a whole new overdrive in the transmission. It powers up fine, but there's a definite step that you can feel after you reach a certain speed.
I haven't tried it for top end yet, but it seems like it will do great.
I also put in a new 871 22 belt, even though the 856 23 was just fine after 5,000 miles.
So, I don't know if it's the long skinny belt, or the slider combo, but I dig it so far, I'll let ya know how fast it goes tomorrow.
