I have a question for ya. What's the fastest speed you've seen or heard in 660' or a 1320' for a sidewinder?
If you post please specify whether it's pump gas or race fuel.
I guess I should mention also in stock trail trim or otherwise there could be a million combinations.

Close to 140mph in 1320 with race gas "trail trim". The sleds that get there are lowered and a few other tricks.
 
I've seen the same kinda #s. High 130's on race gas and mid 130's on pump. It seems the new sidewinders are a little quicker with less done to them compared to the previous sidewinders.
Tom had a '17 ltx-le and it ran 133-134 on race gas at 30lbs of boost. We're seeing 137 with the new srx same set up and 134 on pump gas with 20lbs of boost.
 
It's all in clutching suspension setup and traction my 17 144" ran 128.9 and spun bad and ran 131 once issues became more dialed in I think once that's all dialed I 134-135 should be possible on pump gas and 140 on race gas one would hope lol

Mid 130s is extremely fast.

I'd say pump normal setup 128 good setup 131 mph extremely good setup 133 to 135.
More can be had by a pro team.

Race fuel trail sled... 134 to 138mph with a perfect setup 140 plus.

Race fuel improve race sled stock turbo 145 to 150

Race fuel pro mod.. Mine went 163.5 stock turbo 1320.

This year with new td stage 6 these limits are raised.

My own race Sidewinder bigger turbo 180.6mph 1320. But that's got a whole lot of mods.

So far I've seen tommy's sled do 137.3 on race gas with 30lbs of boost at gravenhurst with steve on it. I ran tom's sled in north bay on the sunday first thing in the morning when the ice was good and I got 135.5 and I'm 210lbs.
I run pump gas and around 20lbs of boost. My sled got 130.5 with me on it and then I had steve(150lbs) run it and he got 133.2 at the end of the day in north bay. All of these #'s were at the nbssr events.
We practiced with mine on friday in gravenhurst on newly shaved ice and I got 131, 132 and 134. If we would've had steve we could've maybe broke 140mph on pump gas? I didn't run my sled until the end of day on sat and I only got 129.2, I should've had steve run it.
This yr Tom and I are gonna try a couple of new things and we're hoping for good results.
It was great meeting and having a good time with guys and girls like; josh, cody, steve, sue, ben, jessie, travis, kyle, kyle, cole, cory and more....

I know what ya mean, tom really was pissed when his reverse went on him in north bay. The nice thing about what we do is most people are helpful and supportive of other people.

Lol! ya, they all went quiet! It's hard to question your #s when you're at an registered event.
The #s are just going to get better as the machine gets broke in and I try a couple of different combos.
It should be a good yr because we're gonna trying racing in 660' events as well as radar 1320'
