track porting?

[ryangreen841]

does track porting weaken the track?

 

[TheBreeze]

Yes. How much? No one knows. I ported mine. If it rips, then ill get a powerclaw.

i have ported two tracks so far and have not had any issues yet.I put two hloes in the center and one on the outside edge.

I ported the Challenger Extreme 2.5 144 on my 2005 M7 when it was new and have over 5000 miles on it. Looks like new.

If a person does not go overkill, it's fairly safe. I ported my Challenger down the centre with a bdx porting tool, you shouldn't have troubles if you use it.

have ported several with no problems at all. am waiting to get a few hundred miles on my powerclaw and then it will get ported also... teeroy how did you get the square holes??? looks like a challenger track but the holes look like a stock doo????

Single ply tracks are more prone for sure. Ive speared two of them now. My current Powerclaw I run one hole in the center
