I am at a point in my sledding, where I dont want to wrench on stuff to pull more HP out of a sled.
I want to experience big power with factory reliability.
My old Summit X 670, I think was in the 125 HP range if I remember correctly.
Ok, and then we ride out in island park where we start out at 6,600 ft and ride up to the 8-10k range.
So leaving the cabin you have no more than 100 horses under the hood. The news gets worse from there.
At 9,ooo feet you are running with about 92 HP........
The cat turbo is at +-175 HP at both 6k and 9k..........
Lets say the turbo is 150 pounds more than my old 99'x..........
That would still be impressive if you could throw out the 144" stock rails and bolt on a 162",,,,,,,,, mash the throttle and pretty much go where you please........
Also, it would be nice to take my time getting ready in the morning, while everyone else is in the parking lot, topping off oil, changing plugs. I lean out the door and press my aftermarket auto start keyfob and let the turbo warm up........
I am the kind of guy who once loved to wrench on my sled......... Now I am the kind of guy, who when I go out west, if I have to open the hood for anything other than adding oil, I consider that a failure of a trip
I think this sled could be the ticket...........
YOu know next year they will be coming with something a bit lighter and longer........
