Default Tips for hot rodding a dually...?

OK... after seeing Kevin's bow at the ATA show shooting 362+ FPS. What are some ways that you guys make your duallys (or bow in general) shoot faster? Besides eliminating all un-needed objects on the string and arrows right at the 5gr limit. What do you guys do that goes above and beyond the basics?

Well I saw the fastest bow in the world, can't remember what it was but the guy said it was a Mathew's, and he said the speed was created by the cam.

Go to a shorter release and loop and gain a 1/2 inch in draw length. Used to be that you could polish the axles and use synthetic lube but now that the Duallys have bearings so it's not needed.

Some string materials will increase speed, as will less strands. Find someone that builds custom strings and see what they recommend. You can twist the cables and untwist the string. This will add weight and lower brace, while increasing draw length. But you'll have to fool with cam timing or rotation issues. Reducing friction anywhere possible never hurts, either. Experiment with position of speed nocks on the string.
