If it lives at 200hp on a pump gas tune it will easily be the best sled ever built to this point. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High 160's? or does it get to 170hp? Mid to upper 160's is where I see most reports at. The 15 hp over stock isn't that much considering a turbo. But the big twins have a hard time pumping enough air on long hard pulls and why they can seem to fall off some. The turbo pushing in the air will take care of that. They likely will pull harder on top than the 15 hp gain indicates. Edited November 8, 2022 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you think? See edit. Absolutely is a ton of money but stock sucks and dollar for dollar not a cheaper way to increase power than boosting a stock turbo.

Keeping this motor from getting heat soaked may start to be an issue. Of course getting rid of heat always seems to be the issue with these new twins.

I believe the answer is fairly obvious, the Poo Boost is a 22k+ sled. Only lifetime public employees can afford them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want the power of a aftermarket turbo set up you will still be spending . And let's be honest if you are buying the boost you are already planning on making it faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a person who puts 5k+ miles per year on - and man, $22k+ sleds? I think I'll keep the three I have for now and keep them fresh. I don't need to be the first one across the lake. Someday I'm sure I'll need a newer sled - like everything in the Big Boy Toy world, and beyond, prices have gotten insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted November 8, 2022 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted November 8, 2022 Its to each their own. Ride what you want and enjoy it. I enjoy the acceleration of the turbo's. If it puts a smile on my face I really couldn't care if it was a 600 or what anyone else thinks. Some of my biggest smiles are on my old triple/quads.

Between the throttle pull and weight I'm not sure how guys more than bar hopped those things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
