so i hear the RMK sleds have been having issuses with the engines (top end so i hear) i talked to a guy and he said once the top end is redone the engine still is weak, its that true or false?

if its true would it better to just get a new engine?

i have a buddy thats 60 and has all updates and it still eats pistons. Seems polaris cant build a sled over 700cc that will stay together.

accordng to dynotechresearch.com, the stock 800 will put out mid 140's for hp. WIth a good tune and a PC3, low 150's. Add a pipe to be in the mid 150's.
