If you watch the sled videos even the pros are full on and full off the throttle every time their on it. I rode with guys that always modulated their throttle as a habit and they always wondered...

    Don't know where you got your facts from on the RED sands avy, but you are contributing to false rumors. Only one guy in my group was on the slope at one time and we did do a test pull to see if it was loose and it was ok, WE SHOULD HAVE PROBABLY been more cautious considering the conditions we...

    Turbo Help Please

    Thanks Lilduke. What about % race gas and at what level of boost ? Just a general guideline would be nice. Sounds like you dont have a whole lot of faith in the carbed turbos. Are they grenades with the pins pulled or what ?? Should I be expecting shrapnel under the hood???
