Wanting to put a stage 3 on my sled wondering how they perform? Is it worth the money or do I just fork out the extra cash and big bore?
Stage 3 kit or big bore

Hated my big bore on 15 m8000. Go with stage 3. Just could never get it running right.

That’s much worry is trying to tune a big bore. I’m already at a stage 2 so if I go stage 3 I will put a belt drive on as well
I love my Bikeman big bore on my sled. I haven't had to do any tuning, but it was all done as a kit where everything is from the same shop and the fuel map I'm running was developed for mountain riding. If your stage II parts are from shop A, but you're looking at a big bore top end from shop B I feel like you're going to have to spend a little more time getting things to work in harmony. If you have no interest in doing that then I would say upgrade what you have from stage II to stage III to spend more time riding and less tuning.
Leave the stage 2 and Get a nitrous kit from Dakota performance, I've ridden with it on a stock sled and my bigbore...fun fun!
I took the leap and set up a 900 bmp on a 16 pc with a full slp stage 2. it does do very well but it took a bit of work to get there.
I also have a tki belt drive and a 162x3 p.c. on it.
NOS is a PITA. with the bb you get constant power.

Did I run into any tuning issues with the kit? I’m not worried about clutching I’ve just never had a big bore before, but man I wanna try the 950 kit from bdx
The 950 is a good deal for what you get. Only know of 2 of them local and they did good with all stock pipe and parts
950 big bores
We have our 950 kits dialed in very well. We have done several hundred now since 2015. Drop on kit that work great and is very powerful and reliable. Killer throttle response!

Did my first ride yesterday on my fresh rebuilt SSI / BD-X 950. Boyesen reeds, Complete Jaws setup and PCV with SSI low alt tune. Only done short burst to about 80% throttle. The way this engine picks up RPM and speed is just... WOW
Still have to fine tune engine and clutches.

I have a 14 stage 3 and it runs really strong. Noticeable gains over the stage 2. Was happy with the upgrade. Pretty linear on delivery. I spent almost as much time on a ssi 950 stage 1 that ran equally as well in regards to maintenance and consistency. It was slower to rev through out but it put down the power very efficiently. You could almost wheelie at will but not enough to make it hard in climbs. Imo you can't go wrong either way. Stage 3 just cleans it up alot and revs quicker. The advantage of the 950 was at the top of the rpms you felt like there was a little more to give vs on the stage 3 up in the high revs it lost the torque-iness.
