I crank mine about as hard as they'll go. I just make sure not to turn too sharply. The bar seems to slide in the strap while turning but I use reverse to turn, ALOT. :)
I strap my centerlink and it seems to help compared to the times I didn't. Get less pigeon toe action and I only have cognito rod ends. The only thing that concerns me is I can tighten the straps all the way before the pull, then after the pull they are so loose I can almost get the strap off...
I'm pretty sure everyone's goal with triples is to get the lbs/min up as quicker and more efficiently than traditional twins. Easier to achieve and tune with tighter housing and 3 turbos doing the work instead of 2 turbos.
I don't think you have to spool the larger top turbo first as the two...
Good luck, hopefully I see you out there. We still have another 185 miles to go, been in the truck over 23 hours so far. I wish I could book a flight and check a pulling truck as baggage, that would be sweet.
Me and some friends will be there, bringing a 3.0 truck. We just got our room yesterday at the royal inn, it was less than $60 a night. They still had rooms available so you might try them.
I've never seen them grade the track. The only thing I've ever seen them use was a U-haul truck dragging a weird beam type thing with weight on it. Last year and the year before were real bad from what I saw/heard. They did some dragging but supposedly weren't using weight on it for some...
Kat, what does that sticker say on the chin portion of Pat's helmet? It looks like a Dmax badge. I can't quite tell, it almost looks like diesel retard :rofl: but I can't buy into that without your confirmation. Thanks. :hug:
It was good to meet you guys. :hug: Wish I had more time to shoot the bull, the truck looks even better in person. Pat and Kat couldn't be nicer hosts, Johnny (gasuout) was really cool too. Thanks for showing me around guys, drive safe on the ride home and congrats on the record. :happy2:
Where are you guys pitted? I looked a bit today and couldn't find it. Congrats on the good run, hope for ae00 tomorrow. I'm on my blackberry, sorry if my post sucks.
