Anyone try one of these? Looking for a little cheap, bolt on HP. Sled is a 2015 T3 163 and I ride 6-10,000ft.

Thanks for any info,
Rich

Bump anyone try a high comp head on the etec?

Never tried powder freaks, but my friend had Ralph at Split Second do some head work on his Etec. Made 19hp more on the dyno.

Pretty much the same power as a BB with just headwork and porting. Ralphs the man.

My last riding crew was all skinny fawkers have to cheat to keep up but you're normal sized so maybe it won't be so bad this year LOL.
U and brian cheat together, fawkers

3 inch tracks and all , still think to side hill and turn up so u can dig it and pin it a 2.5 is better


Hope old Revblu sees this lol

Just what my friend told me, I think I saw the dyno sheet too, this was 3 years ago though. I do know it ran VERY well for a stock bore Etec. But call Ralph, ask him about it. It is not my dyno or work.

Baker was saying the same thing when I talked to him about it... 15-19hp extra pending how far you wanted to go. I think Ralph's price was very reasonable as well. Bout 2/3 cost of a big bore

Bakers sled was pretty impressive after it was ported last year.

Powder freaks head is very nicely built. Way more cooling surface area on the domes than stock. He machines all his own stuff in house and dynos. Good mid range gains with his head.

Will know more in a few days. Put a bondi box for first trip, didn't notice much, installed a powder freaks head and dynoport y pipe since then, Will run this stuff for a couple days. Will install bikeman pipe I picked up on kijiji after to see if there is gains over stock pipe after a couple days. Not sure how far stock fueling will compensate for. Ran a afr last trip to get a baseline, going to keep adding parts and see where it changes.

Depending on load generally 13.3-13.6. I did see 13.8 a couple times. It's kinda scary how lean these thing run.
