Hardly anyone around here pulls them. Has anyone messed around with stroking a diesel? Do they allow meth? Also, what is with all of the pipes on this 720? I assume he is trying to let the exhaust gases escape as fast as possible? http://kandlphotography.zenfolio.com/p214712625/h4e4f4e02#h4e4f4e02 I really like this guys setup. Proves once again you don't need chrome (or a hood) to make it down the track. http://kandlphotography.zenfolio.com/p214712625/h4e4e94e0#h4e4e94e0 [Reply]   [No Email]

From what I understand, the sheet metal had to come off and it looked so good (ok, there wasn't time) it stayed off. I tried to find the picture of the 720(730?) that he killed it at the end and it ran backwards and had a small thermal event but didn't find it. It was on the Green Sled.   [Reply]  [No Email]

These guys know what they're doing. I think everyone should be required to make their sled chain unhook as easily as this one does. 98% of the pullers don't even have to back up for the "hooker" to unhook. This sled unhooks as easily as Cale Mahnke's does.   [Reply]  [No Email]

But you can"t see the main sled rails to his right. They have a small chain tied to the top of the hook, and when you spin-out and then clutch it. He will snap the hook right of your tractor before you know it. No reason most of the time to back up. Why they make a lot of hooks. I love to hear J P"s 820 pull, it is capiable of putting it"s self in the winner"s circle. Vic   [Reply]  [No Email]

As far as stroking you cant on a 720 unless you have a billet crank made. It would be a lot of work too because they have. Center main bearing. There are stroked 820's out there some pushing 1100 inches   [Reply]  [No Email]
