Now I'm know who you are..lol... Yes would of been nice to jump on yours, and you on bakers..
From what I seen watching yours over those two days, it looked and sounded very quick, your spool up sounded quicker than I had off the start by a margin, I was around the 9-10lbs boost, yours defiantly sounded like you were making rpm.. As for your skid, I really never got a good watch of you climbing, but you seamed to have great control where I did see.. And your only on a 165
Have a feeling now that the 175 is out, this should really help out on the control on a turbo sled.. That extra few inches really shows up I found for skid control on the t3 as well.. I left Paul a message for a quote for finished sled on a 18...I have been very happy with his kit on the t3
Hope to make it south again, and have both sleds for next ride..
Ran my Impulse G4 with the KMod in it for a few days last week. Super impressed with how predictable it is on climbs even without the coupling turned up. The first day I ran the sled at 7 lbs and with the clutching I had it was pulling 7900 rpm in clicker 3. To be honest it felt really good on the throttle response/lower end and midrange but did not pull as hard as I thought it should on top. Spoke with Paul that night and he suggested I turn the boost up until I saw 8300 rpm and report back. Wow what a difference. Of course I was dealing with a few more ponies by turning it up to 9-10, but this 850 really screams at 8300. It opens up and sounds like it should. Next trip in a couple weeks I'm going to adjust my clutching so I can get it to run at 8300 with 8 lbs and keep that throttle response super crisp. It just fits my riding style better. At 6'5" and 250 lbs out of the shower I'm just not a point and shoot guy, I love flowing through the trees and creek bottoms and there that throttle response is king. Long story short I love the Impulse kit and the KMod in this G4. It handles great and responds quickly in the type of terrain I ride. Watching some of the other videos of turbo G4's I'm not impressed with how much lag there is to get it up on boost. They sound a bit doggy if I'm honest. I don't believe a stocker could beat me out of the hole on the Impulse, it's that good. I haven't ridden a Baker skid, but watching a few this last weekend they sure keep it controllable on the steep stuff (these were on 174 T3 turbos) but I believe the KMod was just as good there... and a bit better in the technical terrain and whooped out trail. Just my opinion of course. Looking back on it I can't believe I didn't get Fred to jump on mine for just a little bit... I guess I was too busy having fun or being stuck.
