    Is it bad to use a offset chain link?

    I have a yerf dog go kart with a heavily modded predator 212cc on it and the best way I can get the chain to be tight is to use a offset link. I already have one and I'm using a size 40 chain

I was riding it with throttle fully opened and the chain fell off and the engine revved high and stopped like it was hitting the rev limiter on a car. Is that valve float? I couldn't look at the rpm because my tach is...

    Low end power

    Can any of you guys make a list of parts/mods to get the most low end torque out of a predator or clone? Around 3 - 4k rpm would be best. (I'm just curious because it would be cool to do on a go kart for dirt drifting)
