Yes, I had a chance. This is the result...
Lower connection rod bearing gave up and piston hit to the head. Hopeully I can build it again this weekend. Tomorrow I´m getting another engine to replace it.

taht sucks man so what did it top out at 120 mph or what
No more like 90 mph. I have 440 gearing, that makes it nice and snappy for me.

why did it let go?
Don´t know. It sounded like there was a piston ring going, but it wasn´t that. That engine was originally from burned sled, so the crankshaft seals might have gone bad.
Well, now I have new engine and I´m making some improvements to it before I place it to my sled.

Well, new engine is on it´s place and works great. I raised the compression abit and did some portwork. I also have Reimond´s clutch kit and it works like a dream.
Here´s a picture of the new engine going in place. (bad sellphone picture...sorry)
and here´s the sled ready to go tomorrow morning.

what do you think works better, your buddies f-cat Or yours with the Srx Motor in it? Clearly the YamaCat, she looks pretty sick man! Congradulations on the fab work!
Thanks everyone, feels great to read your responces of my little project.
Yep, mine works alot better. Frame is 200% stiffer than the original one. It has taken so much beating this winter and it has hold it like a charm. Not single problems with that.
Engine and powerline are been set up for snocross with sharp throttle responce. Reimonds clutching, 440 gearing and Yamis "throttlefreak" triple are all that it needs.
That engine is only triple-engine that can keep my sleds weight at 220kgs (wet). I don´t know how much it is in pounds.
Now this sled belongs to my girlfriend. She wants to race with it next season. She placed third on last race she entered with piece of shit old ZR600 that suffered terrible lack of power.
Only thing happened on my last ride. Tierod -bolt gave up. No accident or anything like that, it was just it´s time. Than it looked like this...
