I stand corrected.

Of course you can run any domes/compression you want for any elevation.

Any one been able to compare there 900's to any of the other BB's?

1racer · Feb 11, 2013

I sure like my 900 not one glitch. The only thing I had to change was secondary helix cause I am running a 3" track 64 gram belly busters at 8-10 tachs 8250 all day long.
This is the best modification to date.

With out Video footage, Its just Fanatic.

Thanks for the reply,

How many miles???

Are you running the complete Carl's "set up"???(PC5, SLP single, etc.)

Performance gains(other than what weights you're running)???

Scott,

They must've changed it recently as it was previously advertised as premuim fuel at 6000 ft' & higher, working on pump fuel set up for lower elevations(or something like that???)

I just happened to check their website the other day & noticed the change...............

They have a different set of domes for under 6000 feet.
The motor was previously a stage 4 800 from slp and the 900 is no comparison to my stage 4 800 the 900 is way better. To give you an idea of the power difference on the same hill last year I had to sidehill and poach tracks and this year pull up to the bottom and pin it to win it and straight up over the top I go, no questions it has way more power. I have only got about 100 miles on mine and I am sure it will only get better. I am running carls complete setup except for a shallower helix with the 3" track.

Merlin · Feb 11, 2013

Perfect, thanks!

That's the kind of "real world" gains that I'm interested in...........:yo:

If you are on the fence just remember gas oil and rip it up. No checking turbo oil or reeds or clamps. Just pure gas and go power day in and day out. My turbos that I have had always required alot of maintenance.

TREE MAGNET · Feb 12, 2013

Anybody with a 900 riding McCall area this weekend 16-17 I'd like to compair if possible

meathooker · Feb 12, 2013

What are the 900's throwing for primary weight? Anyone ran up against a pgt?

1racer · Feb 12, 2013

They are running 64g belly busters at 8-10K. I have not ridden with a pump gas turbo with this sled but have ridden with them in the past and bottom end definately doesnt compare to the 900.

Merlin · Feb 22, 2013

TTT,

Anymore feedback on the 900 kit???

Thanks,

Glen

Didn't see this message until just now... but we, (Anthony Oberti and I,) were out in the McCall area over President's Day weekend and the following weekend, 23rd & 24th. My Carl's 900 is still running strong! I just recently had Carl's rebuild the primary clutch, new spring, bushings, etc. & a new secondary spring. Threw a new belt on and Wow, this sled is an animal on the snow. Words that come to mind when i describe my sled to people is, "Rips, shreds, destroys" the mountain. Stockers are not even coming close to what this sled can do. We rode with a really deverse group of sleds, ranging from Turbos, Stage 4 kits, & stockers. These 900 sleds have no problems leaving the first track up and over the mountain.

Question for those with the 900 kit...

Are you getting through a full day on 1 tank of fuel ?

On my 11' ,which is pretty much stock, I've always been able to ride all day on 1 tank. ( I understand stock will use less fuel )

I too would be interested in the answer to that question. Even on my turbo Pro, the fuel economy was awesome.

My 900 didn't really use any more fuel than the stock 13s we had. And I was turning a big 3 inch track

gunnerthesnowman · Jan 22, 2014

I would think if you are making for power , it should use more fuel , unless all this power is coming from same how making the engine more efficient , but in most cases it takes more fuel to make more power.
