COMET CLUTCH IS A BIG TIP. WAY BETTER THAN STOCK. .750 LUG ON A GPX COULD BE CLOSE FOR TUNNEL CLEARANCE. CHECK THAT. STOCK PIPES, .38mm ETC ALL GOOD. 3:16 (yammie tony)

i have a comet 102 c with thunder shift weight set up,just a little more on engagement and i should be good there.right now the ice oval set up has woody's picks.920 and it's close to the tunnel but right at .375 over the lug,i may go to a 7 tooth driver and use 1" stud boy catapaults.i think most drag events allow for .750 over the lug height but i'm not to worried about making that,it's just a for fun small event right in hometown,first snowmobile event ever held here.

i run a stock 75 gpx was just out testing yesterday ...........many keys to making them fly and mine is one of the fastest stockers in the midwest although i run the srx primary clutches .........it is what i now and what i have .............just can't get a comet to work as good also as per the rules we are only allowed to run as big as 36mm mikuni's which i just swaped in over the 38's i had on it .............testing shows that i gained a little over a tenth in 60ft with the 36's over the 38's and gained a little on the big end enough to have to change the clutching a little run as little studs as you can i started out with 46 chisels and went up from there last 2 years i have only ran 69 studs in the sled but now i am up to 84 but could remove some if needed .................get yourself a good tach and test test test ...sled should run 8400 rpm for 75 ...........more like 8200 for 74
