I just eye balled the rakers on the race chain I sent in.   I really do not know how low they are.   I just did not want them too aggressive.   It will be fun even if in last place.

Being my chains were work chains the cutters wasnt taken back to the sweet spot.  I just redid right where the new cutters were at.  So the rakers were left at stock height.

Now if you take a cutter back to the sweet spot by the rear rivet. Has anyone measured where the raker ends up from factory, with cutter to the back of rivet?  020 018 just a WAG. Never has a PS PS3 chain back like that before to know.

You pic dont show how nice looking the chain is up close in the hands Roger.  If it cuts as good as it looks it will be interesting.

Good Luck

Well I am not making any big claims.   My first attempt at this so it may not be any faster than a stock chain.
My test cuts were real inconsistent I think due to my lack of experience.

Take a look at my PS work chain
I was getting .010-.015 on it before taking them down
The PS3 is just squared

Well after reading this thread now I'm pretty sure I have the last place chain . I did not touch my rakers at all. Stock ps3 is pretty fast off the roll

Skippysphins  where was your cutter at?  I didnt touch rakers either, but was new chain like a touch up was all I did with different angles.  Not all the way back like the race chain stuff.
