Yeah, the 600 is at the head of the class and the 800 is bringing up the rear.

How can the 700 be 140 when the 800 is at 143? Makes a guy go Uuhhmmm????:face-icon-small-con

Just telling ya how it is. Back in '07 when the modern 700 IQ engine was released guys were amazed at the results from both factory and private testing. The 800 has more torque which helps for steep climbs, but that's about it.

i have a 700, and i remember looking at dynotech research and it was 135 ish...... and you could maybe add 5-6 hp with a ton of add ons

and to be fair ive seen the 800 hp number like 150 ish and i think they have slowly bumped it up 1-2 hp per year so maybe in the 140s in 2011 but low 150s now.

It's in the lower 120s' if that ,they backed it off account of emissions . The pro chasis allows it compared to an IQ that would tank it .

Last year I rode with some Polaris 700s in the iq chassis with my 13 pro rmk 600 and the pro 600 is hands down better. It gets up on the snow much better and has great power for a 600.

the 700 and 800 are lies when it comes to polaris dynos

the cfi 700 fell short of 140

the 800 feel short of 154

mid 140s is also the max you can push a 700 with out having a narrow powerband

an 800(including the cfi 800) can be stretched to about 170 hp and still have a wide power band
