How far can you push a 400 series IH before a girdle is needed. Who makes a good girdle? Any used ones for slae out there? |

when the guts are trying to fall out the bottom end, you should have put a girdle on it. lol! probably anytime you run ulimited rpms or starting around 600+ hp would be about time for one. |
