My home wall has two oposing walls about 20' apart and I want to put a slackline up. If I put 3 correctly threaded eyebolts through the tnuts on each side, and then equalized them, do you thinks this is strong enough?

NO.
I have had friends do this and rip out the t-nuts.
Get some flat iron to but behind your wall and put the bolts through this. A couple two foot sections should do.
Also make sure the force wouldn't pull the wall off the wall.

Not a chance. The forces that a slackline generate (almost 180 degrees between anchors) are incredible and the t-nuts will rip for sure.
It may be possible to put the eyebolts through and then attach a large washer behind the tnut and a screw to hold it in place. You would need to use a fairly large washer to make this work (to spread the force over a wide enough piece of the wall).
Having said that, it's still pretty risky and probably not the best way to set up the slackline.

Yeah, not only would the T-nuts rip, you'd be likely to pull down the wall. Good luck working on an alternative!
