Re: Nose Cone Install ?
We saw a big difference at about 85 and above on a high X dimension cat with twins. One drive with a nose cone and our spare drive without. RPMs on drive without nose cone climbed a last faster above 85 than the one with. Put the right drive back on and RPMs were the same.

Re: Nose Cone Install ?
Rich, do you have a tig welder?

they are not that bad you can either spot weld them then epoxy or just epoxy.
