Etec RKT 860 longevity/ performance

Just to clear up some incorrect information in this post..

Big John is a good friend of mine, we talke every week and we ride every year together.

John has done a TOTAL 1 860 ETEC and it was for a customer of his in ND.. He chose to use the SPI piggy back system because he was told that the stock mapping would not work on the 860 ETEC.
When he came out here and rode the RK Tek 860 ETEC was was impressed (also it was funny to see him ride a sled that was set up for a much shorter rider). He saw for himself that the RK Tek ETEC 860 did not require ANY fuel controller (per design) and was able to be held WOT under full load for over 1 minute without any issues..
He also found it to make very good power. So, after this visit with us, SHR is re-thinking the idea of using a piggyback fuel control system on any future ETEC Big Bore builds. SHR builds good stuff, just trying to clear up the previous post with information that they are doing more of these ETEC big bores than RK Tek.

As I mentioned earlier, the ETEC engine is the SAME as the PTEK engine in terms of what is needed to make a successful over-bore (piston, porting, and head). Trying to make this ETEC into some "special" big bore is simply un-necessary.. It is the same as its carbed brother...

Anyway... just trying to clear up a few misconceptions for those who may be reading..

Had I started this thread, with a title like " which is the best big bore" or "how does the 860 compare to the 872"... I wouldn't have an issue in the world with you.

BUT I DIDN'T.

I've seen plenty of those threads, and SPECIFICALLY asked to avoid it, SPECIFICALLY asked for a particular type of info... but you felt the need to start this, so I'll treat you like a little unwanted barking dog... as in THIS thread, that's all you are. In any other thread, I'll gladly value your opinion, and I'd hear you out... but in this particular situation, you simply had zero respect for what I was asking, so I'll continue to treat you poorly.

I have friends who are friends with Kelsey, as I'd guess with how many friends I have in UT, I've likely got a few buddies who are friends with Dave as well, that's outside the point.

I tried to avoid what you're offering, but you insist on keeping yapping OVER & OVER about the same thing.

This is like someone asking about the reliability of the skidoo chaincase, and someone else telling them OVER & OVER that they should get a sled with a diamond drive. Chaincases suck, you need an arctic cat, you should get an M8... it's not what was asked, it was specifically asked NOT to be brought in... but you just simply don't get it.

I've seen a number of threads about the 872... I see where they're at and how they do. I didn't need more info on them, and didn't ask for it. But just like when someone doesn't need to hear a dog yapping nonstop... the dog doesn't stop... it keeps yapping. Nobody asked it to keep yapping... it just does.

SO, therefore, I'm comparing you to a yapping dog that CONTINUES TO NOT GET THE F***ING HINT, so each time I'm attempting to make it more obvious for you, but that appears to not be working either. For someone who is 51 years old, I'd think that you'd be able to get the idea by now.

Looks like about 1/2 of your posts are about this ONE product... I get that you like it, I FIGURED THAT OUT reading about 10 other threads.

PLEASE

GO

AWAY.

I'd love to hear your take on the other couple things I'm asking about, I'm doing the best I can to build a sled that will work well for me, and the more input I get, the better, but in this particular thread, that's not what I asked for.
