well Thanks to Yamahatim my sled made it home last night!!!! I got out of the office today at noon ran to the shop an put the Evol RC 2's on her and put 150 screw it carbides in her an loaded her on the trailer.
got a bit up north and backed her out........I should have spent the summer at the gym!!!!
There is a lot about this sled I don't like but there is more that I do!!!!
I put 52 mile on her without even venturing towards going Gonzo and that is not like me but. i had to find out?????
I have no idea what RPMS I was pulling but IT IS A ROCKET SHIP at only about 190 hp this thing tried to shuck me off the back like 3 week old underwear.
It does not want to stand up, it lifts the skis 12", looks back to see if I am ready then just explodes.
I do not like the grips they are to big for my little hands, the throttle makes my thumb hurt, but the launch makes my heart hurt!
Anybody with $5500 to throw away just do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is a lot of work to do as far as I am concerned to get it fast on the tight twisties but put this on a lake and everyone is toast

Lol...ya it's fast alright. I'm going to trail ride it this weekend and I have already made some suspension changes. I think I'm pretty close on settings. It's unreal how fast already with just 25 miles on it. Can't imagine 270 hp on the trail. Or the money it cost for that. Make sure it's ready to go for next weekend! I am for sure happy with 190hp. Don't need anymore. 
Happy with 190 for NOW haha

I have around 100 miles and this thing rocks!!!! Unbelievable, raced my wifes Vector and I straight dusted her!! Like 10 sled lengths up to around 75mph. Jumps really good and it handles way way better than my Nytro!

That's funny,i do understand that statement,last year after I traded in my apex gt,i got a bone stock 1100 turbo,took it for a spin for 15 miles or so,than took it home and installed a td stage 4 program,not I really did not get to run it stock very fast,i did hit 75 in the dealers field,but after the tune up to my camp,plenty of snow deep and thick,so it worked out the old girl to the tune of seizing up the primary clutch,but as it was,cat had problems with the clerances with this clutch,so after glazing over my first belt,and than sticking on stock belt and blowing it,i decided it was time cat took a look at it,they cleranced it,and no more problems with primary,and it was nice to see power I could use coming from the turbo,wow when you can run its power,it can be a beast,so I do understand your statement,i only said what I did,cause there are so many boosted fast sleds out there with all sorts of power levels,that its hard to say you will always be first acrossed a lake,but no matter if you are there first or not,its the fun factor you are having that counts.

Boost is awesome. It may sound crazy to you but you will get used to that 190 pretty quick. My trail sled has 4 boost settings and the one it's always set on is 260. If I could find race suel on the trail, it would be set to the 320 setting. Now that you have boost, you will never be happy riding anything without. Have fun but more importantly, be safe.
