Just curious what your guys indicated speed is on top end, and how to set the track tension with anti ratchet drivers. I went out on the pond today, and at about 110 MPH indicated, i heard a occasional ratcheting sound. Can only assume is the track.

Don't let it ratchet! I blew a ripsaw last yr. at 132 on dreamy meter cause it was ratcheting and I figure it delaminated the rods from the belting. After installing the extroverts, reducing transfer, and tightining the track I took it to 145 on meter without incident. I'd say run it tight as not to balloon track into tunnel protectors. I like tight tracks. Mike Knapp#17

Get that skid out of there, put a ZR or aftermarket one on her.

Well, the situation i am in right now with my drivers is that i did not know that there was clearence issues with the W arm, and the folks that i bought them from forgot to put them in a lathe and take some off of the extrovert teeth. Got the looking under the sled and saw where the drivers were hitting the W arm, seem to have worn in but now they are making a clicking noise everytime they pass by the W arm, which is funny because they did not do that when they were new....hmm. So now i am stuck pulling the drive out and sending it out to get looked at/put in a lathe. I wonder if the clearence issue was scrubbing any power off?
