98 srx 700 vs 96 thundercat

[ski]

just to make myself clear....I would rather be run over by a yamaha than drive a cat....

Maybe you guys could give me a tip or 2. I have heads shaved .010, 8 tooth drivers 192/1.325's 25/35 gears and Clutching that keeps me at 8200r's. Last year I raced a t-cat 1000 on ice and in the closest race I stayed w/him from the getgo and he had me by one sled at the end. Any comments?

Yea, run 8300-8400 rpms and drive around him.

I'm going to give Blue Marble oil a try this season and if the testimonials are right then just maybe I might get by him.....we'll see. I'll let you know.

Ski, whats the horsepower of a Stock 900 t-cat? Horsepower of a stock srx700?

dynotech research did a test on blue marble. they lost power. just a heads up, take it as you want to

 

[SRXtrafast]

That's a test. I've not heard. I think I'll dyno mine before and after,just to see what is really going to happen. Thanks

 

[03viperguy]

thats what they did, before and after dyno. did it on a polaris. once they switched oil back they regained lost power. I dont think it is a bad oil, I just wouldnt count on it helping win races
