has poo raised the hp up from last years sleds... 148hp

[AndrettiDog]

Don't feed the troll!!! I sold a 210 hp m8 pump gas turbo to ride a bone stock pro. The hp means nothing unless all you care to do is climb straight up a hill and I would much rather carve up through the trees across a cliff and meet that guy at the top so I cant wait to be on my pro!!!

Exactly!!!

Exactly!!!

So a turbo m8 wont beat a stock pro in the trees? man iam so confused i dont know what to do with all this inaccurate information

 

[Ski-Dont89]

it has a lightweight ported snowflap...no need for high hp

 

[AkLogan]

I don't know about you guys but my dyno sheet will climb higher then your dyno sheet.

He'd rather have the more nimble chassis instead of the turbo

 

[Vertical Asshauler]

What really makes the pro shine motor wise is the amount of torque it makes. Really helps give it the grunt to get up on top of the snow quickly.

I can do everything I could on a m8t with a stock pro and have a warranty is basically what it comes down to.

The pro will hold lines that an m8 without any suspension upgrades will not. The turbo would allow the cat to pull out of things that the stock pro will not. But as stated above its the bottom end power of the polaris that is really impressive and great for riding the trees. Rarely can you even hit that peak horsepower in the type of riding I am doing.

really. So, the brother is worried his wife's sled will be down hp from doo or cat? Does she ride for Slednecks? Put her on an 1100T, I guess, and cut her loose. Me, can't wait till I get back on my girl sled to ride with the big boyz. Try'in to keep up. Weird how a 148hp sled goes all the same places as the rompin stompin ropin 160's, sometimes with fewer sticks and no lost sidehills. Just saying...

thanks guys for the hp info, looks to be the same as last year, just after the numbers

as for the tq we were out with more than a few pros last year and they did well, but after a few hrs you could tell they were down in tq, compared to the etec, if they were the same power, they would of had the advantage, it just was not their, but they did feel lighter

I am thinking Fred is trying to figure out a way to put doo plastic on a pro chassis..just a hunch on my part...

 

[High Velocity]

All of this started by a guy that needs a big bore and nitrous on his XP just to keep up to an underpowered Pro. Blindly brand loyal to the point of stupidity. Sad, really.

LOL. Good post. I think they got ya figured freddy.

the pro is underpowered, but it works really well.

 

[AkLogan]

So people want a sled that is over powered and does not do well? sounds like a winning plan to me

Yeah polaris has a awsome chassis that makes up for its lack of HP, but why cant we have our cake and eat it too with reliability is that really so bad? How long has the combustion engine been around? How long has polaris been building sleds? So whats the issue. Only thing i can see "jokingly" polaris was banking on makeing up all the lost cash with all the people forking out cash for new piston and cylinders when there warrantie exspires

OVERPOWERD check between your legs that is definitly something you will never hear come out of any "manly mans" mouth

 

[TIM]

etec motor in the pro chasis would be sweet

 

[fredw]

pro with a etec could be wild

My "Exactly" was in reference to feeding the troll.

 

[AndrettiDog]

A Pro with a Pro motor is doing just fine for me.

But what clutch would you use?

I am new to the HP debate but I have a good grasp on physics so I will use the word similar rather than same for my question. I do not see how similar sized pistons, Similar RPMs, Similar fuel delivery, Similar compression, Similar Bore and stroke can produce such a dissimilar horsepower.
Not that I ride a DINO but lots of guys apparently do , it seems that the track speed from the clutching is more important to the transmission of power if the engines are running within these similar parameters. Therefore alignment, belt wear,weights, heat and whatever other gremlins there are make a bigger difference in performance than DINO HP.
If I am wrong enlighten me either on this thread, a new thread, a pm or an email.
Otherwise I maintain my sled is better than yours because it is orange not green or yellow!
