Stage 3 Sidewinder vs. Stage 3 Thundercat

[evil eagle]

Hoar. I ride with him most of the time.

I kind of figured it was him. I haven't seen him or so of the polaris crew up my way for about 5 years or so.
What I would find interesting if you would bring your hurricane sled up here and Brian would bring one of his sleds and Barry get one of the td sleds. Bring them all the alpa airstrip this winter.

Adam is working on a couple of sleds. At least one he is planning to Race.

I'd have to fly Ernie (Stone 88) in to set up my sled and pilot it to race against Barry. ; )

I'm likely only going to go to 240 hp and set up for the trail. I will have all the tunes though if not enough.

Who left first.. we didnt see that. Video doesn't tell me squat.

When we race here we start both sleds at the same time. Video shows how close both sleds are after several runs they traded wins.

So what do you think so far on the Winders/TCat's Brian? Got any real miles on the compare to the 1200's? Looks like a bunch of you are trying them which is cool.

Same on this end too, I have a swarm of friends and riding buds on them now too. We used to be mainly Doo and amazing how its turned the Yama/Cat way now.

Hopefully Textron can add some quality to these Cats, cause it doesn't seem like they are put together or engineered too great yet really. They sure ride, handle and feel good ergo wise though. Just a little rough around the edges yet I think though with cheap azz torx bolts, fasteners , paint etc.

Starting to fall in love with the Winders this year. Have 320 miles on them now and getting better with each ride. With the tune in them now they are exponentially more fun to ride!

So far so good...

Will update after a few more miles

I thought no one in NB put methanol in 91 but Brian would know for sure.
Some of the Shell's in Moncton say on their pumps that they don't have methanol in 89 & 87. Gas not from SJ refinery perhaps?

No Ethanol in Premium in New Brunswick. The North East of the province gets most its fuel from the Miramichi Valero terminal other than Irving and has no ethanol in any grade of gasoline.

Hope this helps...

Shell uses their own additive but all the fuel in your area comes from the Irving refinery which should not be an issue but for some reason seems more prone to knock than our 91 which is shipped from Quebec by rail car. What I do when fueling up anywhere that has questionable 91 is assume 87 or less and add enough torco using 87 as a base to bring it to 91+. Luckily Nepisiquit and Rogers Lake lodges all use 91 from our Valero terminal which I know is good so no issues when fueling up north where we ride. Other than those places and our own Petro-Canada locations where the 91 is always perfect... I use torco!

My torco 32oz can once opened,how do you seal it tight enough to carry in a tail bag? Wrap it in bubble pk with duct tape,and tape over cap? Things are going to bounce around back there,even as outlined.

I haven't tried it yet (since I haven't been able to ride yet this year) but I had the same concern as you found first-hand. I went to REI and bought two 16 oz steel water bottles with a super secure screw top. I wanted an easy way to measure out 1/2 a bottle since that should be plenty for a questionable tank of gas up to 16 or 17 psi.

That’s probably the best bet. I ran Torco in my piped/ported SX Viper and 780 SRX and the cans do not seal well once opened.
