I have used a shockwave for over 1000 miles my buttons still looks new. I use epi purple with 1 1/2 turns out . Yes it is better to add or take away weight from the primary to achieve your engine rpm but when the snow is deep you just turn in the shockwave witch does two things make it easier for the engine and puts more side force on the belt and stop it from slipping and burning it off in the deep snow.combining a shockwave with a dalton weights that you can adjust with out taking them out of the clutch works great <TABLE border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top>Boosted applications:
