You should add to your responses the cost to get those numbers. *That is the true measure. *I am amazed at some of the numbers you guys are posting. *Almost hard to believe, unless you dump a truck load of money into you sled. *160 hp out of a 600 triple! *How reliable are these sleds when they are tuned to the max?http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif? *With so many people bashing brands on here complaining about the OEM&#39;s, it makes me wonder how many of these "manufacture&#39;s" problems are actually caused by the manufacturer. *People complain about OEM&#39;s not doing enough field testing, it makes me think they are just saving money since so many people mod there sleds anyhow. *I&#39;m just thinking out loud here. *Not meaning to put anyone down. *To each their own. *I personally do not mod my sled, I just buy the biggest I care to ride, and ride it stock.

Point well taken jayjaysin, but hp to some people is a hobby.

It&#39;s not always about the ridding for me and my daughter, it&#39;s about spending time cranking out as much "reliable" hp you can. Like I said, it&#39;s our pastime and hobby.

Don&#39;t get me wrong, I love to trail ride as well, but I have 2 other sleds that I take.

But the other side of snowmobiling for us is to have a crowd of people gather around our sleds when we stop at a restaurant and want to see under the hood. I love it, It&#39;s like the feeling an artist gets when he/she reveals a new painting.

There are alway a few motorheads in the crown that love to talk shop and it&#39;s really and enjoyable experience.

Engines are a hobby - yeah, it costs a few bucks, but then again what hobby doesn&#39;t.

JayJay, I thought about that when I was placing my post, and hoped nobody would bring up price.....approx $1200.00 divided by 16 hp = $75.00/h.p. ....OUCH!!! *But hey, it&#39;s an addiction, and no matter how many times I prove to myself that I can&#39;t get that money back out of my sled, I always have to add something(s) to a sled when I buy it. I FEEL THE NEED FOR SPEED!!! * http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/devil.gif

But i think its better having a sled with 170-180hp and nail the throtle for like 5 miles than having a sled with 260hp and go a half mile then BANG!!

Hey it&#39;s the most HP that run across the yard in the last week.

Horse power is a wonderfull thing. But to acurately use that
H.P. it needs to be transfered to the ground. All the H.P. in the world will do no good unless the set up is right.
A person can spend 1/2 the $&#39;s in clutching, carb and suspension set up and smoke the guy who has 20 more ponies.
I personally have around 135 h.p. in my zert 600 and have either hung with or walked 800&#39;s and almost all twins.

It just takes a little reaserch and time. (Thats free)
My 2 cents.

Soon to be about 182-188hp from a mod kit from Bickfords.

Stock Ultra I have heard hp is between 105-110, soon buying triple pipes (SLP) and needles as well as a clutch kit to match it, dunno what it makes after all that. I think its like 145-150. That will prolly be plenty, but ya never know.

I have noticed a couple trends in this thread:
1. VERY FEW replys out of Canada - is this because if your speed laws (why have LOTS of horsepower when you cant use it - a Thundercat gets to 30 mph REAL fast!!).
2. I think the "bull poop" has gotten pretty deep - of course - we Americans LOVE our bench racing!! :lol:

should specify what year of sled and motor size. gotta a 1987 indy 600 putting out 145hp at 9600rpm&#39;s. but no longer trail ridable. 1000ft. ice speedruns. 114mph-1000ft.

The valved 600&#39;s put out an honest 110, Snowtech even dynoed one at 113. The pre-valver 600&#39;s were only around 100.

I always get a chuckle out of the guy&#39;s who take their stock 600 making about 100 HP and then add parts to it then add the sum of what the parts say they add. So if you start with 100 and add a +7HP pipe & +15 port job do you really get 122HP. Racing in the right situation is all fun but keep racing off the trails.

For the record last time my 600 was running it still made enough power on 1 cylinder to make 50 MPH easily.

Maybe we need to start a how tall can you get your sled to pull a wheelie thread?
