also, 196 hp is fantastic. Just to bad you cant put it to the ground with a 15" wide track
I don't think you can turn the Polaris boost down that low?Love you Polaris guys. as long as you have 2 pounds more boost you really have something. why not compare apples to apples ? compare them with the same boost, but that`s the only way polaris has a chance to beat the ski doo run more boost. cheaters cheat that`s the only way they win.
So if a 16" wide track is better than a 15", then a 18" wide track must be fantastic? I think you should get one. Tracks are really misunderstood. Push a wide swoth through the snow and see how much energy that takes and then push a narrow line and it takes much less energy. If you are short on float then go longer on the track, not wider. And we should start doing some "footprint to weight ratio" calculations to see how these sleds stack up. Finally who rides on the flat track? Most roll it up on one side otr the other so how much track is actually in contact now? If this is the way we should look at things then the Alpha has all beat.also, 196 hp is fantastic.

Weeeeell no!
They always seem to be 10hp high with their numbers.
They were high by 9 on the 800 etec.
Just remember that makes it 10 high for doo turbo numbers also.
That is gonna hurt when your number was already low.
Take 10 off of each and what do you get????
A spread between the two that is just as big....lol
Yours or your wife's ??? just to clarify.mine definitely saw far more 8000 rpm than 7200 last weekend thas for sure lol
Yeah pretty sure we debunked this fantasy last season. fkn armature.also, 196 hp is fantastic. Just to bad you cant put it to the ground with a 15" wide track

You have a QD2 -equipped sled, are you sure? Also, did you try running it packed with snow that gets forced between the belt and the sprocket, increasing belt tension drastically? That's different than having ice pressing against it from the sides.
LMAO You misunderstood my comment, but just went right to attack mode anyway. Did I say anything about riding a sled at 7200 RPM? Nope. Just showing the comparison of where both sleds were at 7200 RPM, and show the rationale for not focusing on a SINGULAR number of peak power but compare a more holistic look at the data. Like I said, it shows you guys don't really understand the fundamentals here - I'll quote myself - "A couple theoretical calculated dyno HP ain't gonna make a difference up on the hill with cold air and deep snow......so breath and relax".Who rides a turbo at 6500-7200 rpm?? I personally have it to the bar all day. Watch every single youtube video of a skidoo turbo. WOT the whole time.
Are you going to do a climb comparison on a hill and maintain 7200 rpm. No. Not one person ever does that.
I gave you a little extra. If you beat Chrisco that’s the reason.View attachment 249029
And I have one cut down to try as well.

Breath and relax guys. Breath and relax.
That was on his stage kit, with a bunch of mods and a reflash. The stocker never made more than 170ish.Bikeman dynoed a NA matyrx at 181hp anyone believe that number???
that little sliver on the floor is the difference between first and last
LOL Ok, I'm not the most coherent at times, too many thoughts rolling around in the noggin. Simple version - Anytime you are looking at dyno data - NEVER compare peak HP #'s. HP is only a calculation of torque and RPM divided by a constant (5252) so you need to look at torque, not HP. Look at 2 points inside the data and compare them instead. At 7200 RPM, the Doo and the Poo are neck and neck in torque (122 vs 125). 3 ft/lbs of torque difference is nothing and would never be noticed on the hill.ill be honest, i have zero understanding of what you said originally LOL.
