I put 1-2 gal of 110 oct in with non eth 91 on my silber. At 10-12K it does run a tad rich at 5lbs. But I'd rather run rich for piece of mind

Man that's some elevation right there. Should be able to run 7# with that fueling setup.

I had two boondocker inter-cooler kits on pros and installed a silber kit on a new axys in feb. The lag is much more noticeable on the silber and clutching is way to hot. The silber has good power, I picked up different clutching but didn't get to try it. I just ordered a sidekick to install on a customers sled that I ride with, so I will have a good comparison this winter. I ride with several sidekick turbos and they all run good every day. I was tired of the tunnel dump and think silbers kit is more bang for the dollar but really don't like the extra lag.

Would definitely love to hear back with some direct comparison!!!

Sled felt good but always felt better at higher elevation.

You should feel Mucho better at lower elevation- you have so much air to cram in there @ 7# would be a ride- and on the fuel your runnin....:face-icon-small-hap
Us here in the nose bleed elevations beg for the HP you see daily with the added boost! We don't have the air..

Clutch weights

I was quoted a Silber Turbo with adjustable weights to run flatland and out west. Well, long story short, had buy my own, now I'm off to Indy Dans setup. Haven't tried the new setup, but I'm sure it will be better.
