Putting Chisels in race track. Few Questions

[Sno_Racer_Xtreme]

i have a .5" race track and i found a good deal on some chisel tooth studs. The chisels are 1.2" long. am i going to be ok running this long of a stud in a track with such a short lug? just really dont feel like tearing on through.

Thanks

yes you will be ok.On one sled i had I added slides to my front heat exchanger protectors but didn't on any of my other sleds and was fine.

should i run my track a bit tighter just to be safe or keep it at a regular race tension?

you will have to run it tight anyway or its gonna racthet unless your running non-slip drivers.

I never had any ratcheting problems on any of my drag sleds from stock to improve stocks with stock drivers.

thats good news... did you ever have a stud pull through when you were running these longer studs?

your not gonna need chisels if you set ur suspension right...just adding more swinging weight

no, havnt heard about any more radar runs... i was just going to put my chisels in for any 660 drag races. I plan on keeping in my picks for doing the radar runs. Have you heard of any more events?
