I have to dads.. which one? Steve or jackie?

I dont ride either brand, and I'm not brand loyal...but I do pay attention to all of the different brands and info about them.
I'm curious why a solo dyno number matters to anyone? Unless you had an XP and M8 there at the SAME TIME to run under the SAME CONDITIONS...then the numbers have no meaning except as a tuning tool.
Are the brand loyalists so insecure about their brand that this type of thing really matters?

lol...awesome!! But my dad's initials are C.N. Nuff Said!!
Doesn't look like much of a slouch to me,its already beating 160hp cats in a straight line.

I see on Dynotech website they had to use 93 octane fuel and a leaner ethanol resistor to get 146.7HP...so real world numbers will prolly be at the 143 mark using 91 octane we have available in the west.
I'm sure the new Pro owners are little suprised..quoted at 155HP..that's 9-12hp less than quoted. At least the chassis weighed in as quoted. Should be real nice treat for the Polaris riders. Dynotech also mentioned the fuel mapping was clean and crisp..better than a lean mid and rich top end from years past.
For the Doo fans.. Dynotech also had the E-Tech at 163...god knows nobody can alter the fuel map on these, let alone any other tricks to lean it out and put up a good number.
Gonna be a great year for all..If only Cat had the new chassis out this year to do the battle.:face-icon-small-sho

The numbers are always good to know but as most have said, it's not all about numbers. It's about power and torque curves and how good of a clutch tuner you are but personally I'd rather start with a 20hp gain over my competition.
However, if Cat came out with a sled that was 20hp less than the Polaris of the same displacement, all the die hard Polaris guys would laugh and all the die hard Cat guys would say, "Oh c'mon guys, as all long as we're having fun, that's what really matters. :face-icon-small-sad "
So that's the great thing about not being brand loyal at all... like me! Seriously though, a dependable 150hp 800cc engine is not that hard to build and they've been getting produced for a number of years now so why can't Polaris get a little more competitive with the other manufacturers, especially at what they're charging for these new sleds???

Perhaps a conservative approach on compression and timing so they dont re-visit the burn down problems they have been plagued with?Thats what I would do!
Well, go figure..
Doo shows to have more power than quoted, but the added weight this year.
Poo finally gets in the lightweight game, killer new chassis..but down 20hp to the Etech.
Just imagine if the new Pro came in at 163HP .. OMG:face-icon-small-sho
I can already hear them.. "I'll just TURBO it." LOL

I think you just nailed it on the head! I don't think they could afford to risk it after all the problems in the past.

Well we all know that's exactly what they're doing but is it really being marketed as a conservative sled?
I mean, how many years do you give Polaris to come up with an engine that isn't plagued with problems? Polaris can't hire engineers that can overcome this hurdle?

I agree.. especially after hearing Polaris has spent a TON of money in R&D to fix the problems for motors in the new PRO. They cannot afford to make that mistake again. If they have.... great... They may very well be back on track to the glory days of the XLT and 700's. It will only make Doo and Cat dig deeper, which we all will benefit from IMO.

poo season,,,, doo season,,,,poo season,,,,doo season,,,,poo season,,,,doo season,,,, cat season?....... Duck season, ha ha ha wabbit season,,,,,? aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh... Turbo Season:smow:

So what were the older Dragon 800s for hp?
What was the carbed XP?
What was the 2010 Cat 800?
I've heard like 155 hp on the XP and 157 hp on the M Cats but are those dynotech #s?

i watched a guy make 4 or 5 runs up sufur from peanut at baker on his 700 dwagon, had to be about 3 feet of new. I said hold my beer and watch this. went right over. came back after about 10 mins of wfo crusin around. my buddies were crackin up.

a few years ago, seen a good running 700 poo, it did great, but was not quite the xp caliber
as for this innfo from dynoteck, i would be furrious, calling all sorts of people in polaris, that is not right, to be that far under rated hp,
there is goona be a lot of sad polaris owners in the next few weeks
