these videos are from a chute in graves creek, i am on the first video with a 880 from splitsecond, and a 3 inch 162 track, second video is a stock xp and aftermarket head to compare, thrid video is a 860rkt with a 3 inch 174
snow was deep and heavy with a cornice near the top, the two bb had racersedge suspensions on them, climb was vertical as hell
i have tons more of videos, just need to edit them, more vids as well on ytube

nice pull dude, I thought I could hear the revs pull down a bit on the first attempt. it sounded like it held rpm and was screaming on the successful climb. nice vids....

860 Vs. stock (great running XP)
Not sure why... but there is about a 26 sec delay at the start of this one..

nice to see you wade in Kelsey. can you give me an idea of how much hp one can expect out of a kit that will run on 91 octane? (stock pipe setup)
I appreciate your input, but ask that you please leave your anticipated rendez-vous plans with fred over on dootalk....

Kelsey, what HP and torque does your 860 kit generate on the 800r engine? stock exhaust, pump gas.......Honestly?

Since we 1st developed this engine in 2006 (Dec), we have been constantly making changes and have found some real substantial gains every season (this season especially)
I do not want to get into HP number because it always starts a pissing contest.. But you can watch the videos and see the speed and accelleration that these 860's carry up VERY steep hills at 9,000FT..
I can tell you this.. That it takes ANY 800CC class turbo over 9PSI boost (at 8-10Kft) to compete with my 860's.. So, take that for what it is worth

i am in the market for a BB kit....
This is what i read on your website....
"The new 860R from RK Tek is rated at 180HP on 91 octane fuel with the stock exhaust system. Peak power is accomplished at 8300 rpm. The torque curve is extremely broad and linear which allows for VERY easy clutch tuning. Fuel economy is INCREASED over the stock 800R due to the more efficient engine"
I have numbers from differant dyno's 880 kits are not pulling this kind of numbers with exhaust and race fuel.....
so this leads me to believe that your 860 kit is the bomb!because this is what i am looking for, a pump gas kit.

Like all of them... nobody has numbers to back them up. nobody wants to talk HP....but yet its what everyone in the industry uses as a standard of measurement....."what model is that... oh that one, it our 130 hp, this one is the 150 hp model"......what kind of turbo kit is that, its a 310 mcx kit..... and so on.
Its all claimed and taking word for it.... give me your 3 grand and oh, take my word for it......or
we can't give you that info because our competion will see.....lol
my interpertation..... we don't want you to really know the truth......lol

sorry guys i hijacked turbostanges site.i run rktek 860.runs awsome.i am working with kelsey right now on clutching,i went a little overbord on the 15.1 head. the 15.1 head was my idea not kelsey.i just wanted to try it . going back to lower comp head.kelsey is a awsome guy to deal with.i had another 860 last year that i had dynoed.175 .115 torqe.kelseys motor feels that much better.ill try and get a buddy to post the dyno sheet today as i dont no how.860 are a good engine.every engine stock or big bore or turbo has to have a good clutch set up .dont get all rapped up in horse power numbers.the extra power is awsome .ive seen stock sleds walk all over 860/880.because they are not clutched right.who ever builds your engine spend the extra money and get them to set you up a good clutch set up.or there good clutch guys out there that will help.

just so were all clear. i know... and you know..... that if the clutching and gearing isn't set up... you can make all the HP you want , but if it is not getting to the ground its useless.......i got it. i figured that one out 20 years ago.
what i am asking for is how do we know these claimed numbers are there to begin with...... unless you crank dyno the engine.... am i wrong? or should i be happy with hear say? i have a turbo apex, its claimed to be 350 hp by the manufacture.... but really it is 264hp at 15 lbs. The kit is capable of 350 HP...on a built motor that is.
guess i just keep beating my head against the wall.
when i build my 860 or 880 bb kit... i am going to dyno before and after....so i have a baseline, then know actually what the kit makes for HP and ft/lbs T.

i am old school also....i have done many a deal on a hand shake.....before, but i have become a sceptical on these kits now because i have seen claimed hp on these kits....and the dyno numbers are not there for what they claim.....when there is thousands of dollars involved and no proof of what they generate?

anyway.... moving on, this is turning into a dead horse beating and everyone seems to be happy with "word"... so when you get a kit, and you install it and its not pulling what its claimed......... thats what word got yah...

Ya know.. Dynos can be made to produce ANY HP figure you want (high or low) I have had numerous Dyno shops PURPOSELY make their dyno produce a low output number for various reasons...
In any case.. All I can tell you FOR SURE... is that the 860 we build will HANDIDLY outperform a stock sled ! This is guaranteed!
Also, What I know for sure, is that no matter what you get, from me or anybody else... FredW's 880 will destroy it!!

Sometimes one has to go out on a limb and take someones word, no matter how many times one has been fd over. Me and a riding partner went out on word when it came to RKTEK with regards to their product, all i can say is keep up the good work and service,
ps gonna post the dyno sheet tomorrow
