I am adding the same but using signature series with square alum backers. I just ordered them today. Guy at woodys said we should be fine ad far as not damaging anything with that length stud and only using 102. There apparently is a tunnel protector shim kit available, howeer for longer studs and/or POM.

My last sled I studded, (08 Nytro). One of the studs pulled out at top speed across a lake, went right through the lower radiator. Sled never said a word about getting hot because the temp sensor is read from the coolant temp. No coolant = no warning. My new sled (12 apex xtx) I put on a prestudded track. I was very skeptical of it but figured I'd try. I put about 1000 miles on it last year and I am impressed.. You wouldn't think by looking at the track that it would hook up the way it does. The only place I find myself looking for more traction is right out of the hole. Just 2 cents for ya.

I have 153 1.325 on my '12 but I did the tunnel protector mod. I just didn't want to take a chance of impacting the exup.

have owned and studded over a dozen sleds over the years, I would only stud up the middle now, with double backers , single studs seems to pull out, especially on the outside window of the track. I have never had a double backer pull out of the track yet. also don't get too aggressive with the stud, 60 deg point, woodys have worked well, you don't need to go that high above the track for them to work properly.

As a general rule 1 per HP of the sled works well.....Pattern in all up to you.

I have had great experience with Extreme MAX 1.4 3 per bar Apex 12k miles no pull throughs and two per bar on Viper only 6k but looking great. At Haydays I can get the for $1.10 for stud backer and nut. Life time garauntee. I see they are available on EBay for not much more
