I will be installing a Camo 9860 track with 8 tooth drivers on my 02 Viper. I will be studding it. But I'm a little worried about the studs hitting the tunnel under the gas tank. And I'm also not sure how long of a stud is OK to use. I have a buddy that has some 1.40" studs. They measure an LOA of 1.75". This seems kinda long to me. I know a bunch of you guys have done this. Any tunnel damage out there? Thanks.
 
as long as you still have the tunnel and all the exchanger protectors you should be ok. i would think a 1.4" stud might be getting a little on the long side once installed, but if your buddy already has them put a couple in and see how much the penetration is. I would probably go with a 1.325 or so. That should still have plenty of penetration and not be too long to put a lot of stress on the track. The 1.4" will probably be ok, like i said just put a couple in and see how far they protrude.

those are the right length studs. if you keep your track tension tight it will be fine. if you run it loose, install the taller polaris tunnel protectors. i ran mine loose last year and have a couple really light scratches on the tunnel and some rubber deposits on the protectors.

do you have a good pic of your penetration past the lugs?

no pic, but it is extremely close to .25" as accuratly as i can measure. when looking at it, it almost looks like they dont stick out much at all. btw they are extreme max studs. i know every company measures them differently. i think woodys 1.325 are the same length as mine.

That's what i had in mind when i said 1.325, because i always run Woodys, and my buddy with a '04 Pro X2 with the 1.25" track ran the 1.325 woodys and they were perfect.
