My buddy ran some guy on a Cat this winter (In Old Forge area) with an aftermarket turbo. The guy had some problems because my Buddies RTX ran dead even with it. They pulled over to chat and the Cat caught fire....funnier than hell. The guy didn't even care. They put the fire out but it did major damage before they could get it out.
I think he didn't care because he just ran even with a stock RTX....Obviously, the turbo sled wasn't running right...but still funny as hell.

Hahaa, iv never seen an FST even come close to an Apex/Attak on either top end or acceleration.
The others are so far behind on fourstrokes that they cant even compete, theyre not even close still, even with all sorts of power add ons. You can see quality when a naturally aspirated fourstroke is smoking turbos.
It will be a while to see something fourstroke that can beat out a yam, unless its another turbo charged lawnmower engine, or small economy japanese car engine with even more boost.

Its funny how a group of people can pat themselves on the back for having such "superior machinery" when it takes boosting to get the product to even keep up. Its like comparing apples to oranges. Sure the sled handles well and goes fine, but I question the long term longevity of the sled if the engine is under the stress that its under. It also has all the heart and soul of a Briggs and Stratton Intek Vtwin of your lawn tractor.
