so the bearings would be the ones labelled 30 and 31? well anything else?[/b]
Yes, those are the ones.
Other than that, it's just as good a sled as any...
Nothing really much different about T-Cats to worry about. Basic stuff like any other sled... Gotta watch for the usual stuff.
98s were AWS4 chassis, 99 and newer were AWS5. The 99 came with 41" stance, the 2000 & later were 43" stance. 2000 & later skids were better built than the earlier ones, more bracing, seem to take the pounding much better and live longer.
I have a 2000 skid in mine right now, had a 2001 before it, basically the same thing. The original 98 skid 'loosened up' no matter how many times I re-tighted & loc-tite all the threads. It just didn't have enough strength/bracing to take the punishment. Fine for the lake though.
98's would actually dyno at rated hp... 172. The newer ones wouldn't in stock form, needed to improve intake/exhaust flow & spark advance.
