Hey guys, thanks for all the really great ideas - my 340 is going to be a monster next year - it will have some much HP with all these mods that no turbo yammy will be able to keep up. This is going to be so sweet!

I am going to verify all the HP increases using my official ass dyno and will let you guys know what the biggest improvement is.

I extreme ported my track on another sled a couple weekends ago, not sure I want to do anymore porting just yet. :p

I love the bling chain link steering wheel idea, I'm thinking a suicide knob on that wheel would really help with the counter-steering during sidehilling, maybe won't have to port the skis after all.

Although with the wheel on there, where am I going to mount my homemade mountain bar (fabbed one up out of 2x4's and an old seat belt - it's bad ass!)?

Document everything and record all numbers. It's the best way to protect the resale value of that bad ass beast. There is a balance between bling bling and performance, and it sounds like your there brother. Keep up the good work thru the dog daze of summer.

Its a lesser known but proven fact that consuming large amounts of American beer or the BC version (Kokanee) and urniating into the fuel tank of a Cat increases HP at altitude by atleast 15HP. Why else do they make the mouth of a Cat fuel tank so wide? ~Spilly pee'ers

I love the idea of handlebar exhaust too, and I'm really thinking of doing this with a set of 10 speed handlebars, so that the flames shoot out towards the back, that would be so bad ass!!!!! Not sure about the extra steering effort that's going to be needed with the new bars, but I figure that I can always port my ski tips to reduce some of the steering effort needed.

Im starting to sway from the handle bar idea, I finally just installed my new super bar tassels (removed straight from a strippers boobies) and I dont want them to melt. I might add that the turbulence caused by the tassels forms an invisible air differential around my body,thus reducing drag and has increased my top speed by 13mph and another benifit is it repels trees so double bonus.

That there is an unfair comparison.

Good thing summer is here so you guys can clear that 2 stroke exhaust from your Brain..
Noise doesnt make HP. its the design of the pipes, I run Quiet aftermarket SLP pipes on my 03 800 VE Polaris.it leaves my sons 2010 800 Assault in my snowdust. Or he lets the old man beat him? but I dont think so.








2003 Polaris 800 Vertical Escape ,,like to trade for a 600 or 700 w reverse & elec start, its too fast for this ole fart.

Noise doesn't make power???? WTF???? Who told you that? My neighbours kid with a 1989 Honda Civic and coffee can muffler will disagree with you I'm sure.

Lets go back to the straight pipe right out of the hood... With the needed back presure you would get weld in a large washer inside the pipe. Giving the needed back presure and you could change the tone to what you want . And a plus would be at an idle it might make little smoke rings

What about adding a tractor rain cap? You could add some more weight to the cap and that would help the backpressure as well no? Plus it would look realy cool rattling around up there. Restoration Supply Farmall Tractor Parts

Can't you just use some aluminum tinsel from the Xmas tree? It wouldn't melt as easy as the plastic tassels - not sure it comes in pink though....

The sledding is poor, but it looks like the fishing is pretty solid this time of year! :d:d:d

Sounds like a great idea. But if you are going to add the flapper, train horns are a must. Just take a small air tap line off the side of the stack. Remove the stock seat and add large 30 lb propane tank. The blow off valve could be a simple as and extra brake lever. Sure buddy has removed his snow flap and loves to give you a face wash , but 2 seconds of that horn going off and he will wishing he was someplace else

i somewhat concure with you dirt but we have to realize and note tso that we do not lead modman in the wrong direction and get him disappointed in his hp numbers. he has to realize that all these mods are totally useless without the snow flap delete package from slp. i have heard kimpex makes one as well but not quite as good numbers from it.



and no you cant build your own will spend way more time and money and still not get it right.

What comes out must go in. There has been allot of focus on exhaust, and be it a very important aspect of the equation, there has not been allot of discussion about the intake side, other that the ported reed recommendation, which I concur with by the way!
Should go with a y-pipe in place of them little baby carbs to a 1 1/2" X 4" cast iron flange 90, and a Holly 750 double pumper on top. There is a slight irregularity in the mating surfaces, but I'm sure Princess Auto will have a match set of vice grips to hold it in place. Be sure to use lock tite on the vice grip threads. Would not want to burn down that bad ass beast over a bullch!t mistake like running lean because of a intake leak.

Good luck my fiend

I've got some schedule 80 pipe with a 90 degree bend - do you think that will work good?

A holley double pumper seems like it would be overkill, 750 CFM is a lot of air, I was thinking that I might be better off with a little household range hood fan mounted inline of the intake with an injector duct taped to it and a switch wired into the power wire of both injector and fan.

That way when you wanted more power, you could just flick the switch and the injector and the fan would turn on at the same time, pushing more air and fuel into the motor (forced induckshion - kinda like a girl I knew once LOL).

This way I would not have to change my exhaust routing from the handlebars.

Thoughts?
