Title: Opinons please -- which replacement for the primary comp?
Post by: KrakenCVO on June 30, 2021, 09:18:22 AM
Good Morning all,
   I have a 131ci that has 140whp and 155wtq.  Right now I have the stock primary comp with no issues.  I believe I need to replace/upgrade and I am looking for some inputs.  I am looking at the Man O' War and the part from Cyclerama.  Both are great parts and will work well I'm sure.  Please give me some feedback on which way to go.  Thanks in advance.

R/Don

I got the Cycle-Rama design one from TTS in UK, was not available in the US yet at the time of my build. 157/165, no problems. I liked the simple stock replacement since I never had any issue with way my stock comp worked.

I am running the Darkhorse compensator but plan on pulling it this winter and reinstalling the stock compensator with the Cycle-Rama hardened comp ramps. I shattered my stock comp ramps with a missed shift in my 124".

What's the reason for pulling the DH comp?

The DH comp is a little noisy at idle. The only issue with the stock compensator was the ramp shattered from a missed shift.

I seen a video where George Bryce was hyping the same looking ramp. He marketing the Cyclerama or vice versa?

Neither of them have the capability to manufacture anything.

I had the same issue, with noise. It made the cruise drive neutral rattle when the transmission got hot. Sounded like the transmission was coming apart! The answer I got was, some transmissions are tighter than others.
