What is the stock Helix angle and what angles are you running for a 162? Should I go higher or lower?

I have a 48/42 laying around but don't know if it will help anything on the nytro.

thanks for any help you can give me

Not positive about the 2010 mtx's, but the 08-09s are a straight 43 degree. I'm pretty sure the 2010 is the same.

My 2010 162 SE came with a 39* helix with a W-W spring at 3-3... Gonna run that at 6000'+ out west...

Around Northern MN (1300') I just run a 47* helix with a P spring at 1-6... works great and RPMs are about dead on... Note: I haven't really beat the #*$&@ out of it yet to try and notice max RPMs since I am still breaking it in but after about 250 miles on it now I haven't noticed any over-revving/high rpms...

I think I was incorrect. I think the 08-09's are 39 degrees. Not at home right now to check for sure. Sorry if I gave bad info.
