I've heard rumors that Dave from Powderlites figures he will be able to develope a turbo for the new 600 ace that will produce 180 hp on pump and 220 on race fuel. If there is any truth to this I think it would be a great sled being that it weighs in at around 470 pounds. Anyone know for sure if this is just a far fetched rumor or is it the real deal. I know dave is on this site a bit maybe we can get the words from the horses mouth so to speak.

Simple math says the 1200can do 240 on pump...240/135 (stock 1200 power) = ~1.8.

Using the same ratio to the stock 60hp 600 twin and you get just around 110hp. Going to be tough to pull 180 on pump out of that one I would think.
