Best Mod: tough one....could be the Doo Doctor floating secondary on the XP or the BM fabricators boards on the same sled or the DJ clutching on the same sled or the Redline Turbo on the T3
Worst Mod: Tough to call it a bad mod, but the Baker Skid on the 154 wasn't worth the cash for that sled(still flipped it over backwards and broke my neck on it) or the BC built big bore on the XP, worked better than pre BB, but not $3500 better
Best Sled: 2015 T3 174
Worst Sled:2005 RX1, non aspirated heavy af pig...yes, would go forever, but not an ideal mountain sled coming from flatland riding

best sled: Thundercat 1000 with pipes and 156x2” bolt on paddles and a bunch of ****. Was a beast in the day

worst sled: 89 Yamaha 440 fan, first sled I was riding on. But it got me in the game!

Best mod: turbo on 2011 Polaris Assault
Worst mod: turbo on 2003 Vertical Mistake
Worst sled: toss up between the 71 Skiroule RT 500 and the 1973 340 TNT fa, the skiroule might have found its way home a couple times but pretty sure the TNT never did.
Best sled: 1973 Polaris 530 Custom ll, left the tow rope tied to the back and threw it under the flip up seat when ever one of the other two were not hanging on it...

Omg I tried Avid drivers on my Xm too! They vibrated like a mofo so I called up Avid Robbie and told him how bad they felt on the bars and on my feet. He tried to turn it around on me like I didn’t know what I was talking about. I got attitude and hosed on the shipping each way. Second time I got hosed by Avid. Never again. Now Powderfeaks drivers go one every sled I own.

The avids bent my driveshaft and made my track run hard to one side - so I bought a new stock one from doo and haven't had a problem since even with 9lbs boost - the avids on the old cat are good to go tho so I don't understand it - i also have some very expensive avid paper weights now - I'm powderfreaks all the way too now - I was blown away by how well the head did for me - fixed all my issues - runs cooler - can run lower octane - can pull heavy boost at 4000 ft no problem

Worst sled: 2002 Cat ZR440 Sno Pro (all new chassis, engine and suspension, from a limited build factory race department, what could possibly go wrong? )

Best mod: RKT head on my 06’ M7 and the STM 11” roller secondary, 2.6” powerclaw on my 2010 M8

Best sled: All of them except 1. 1978 skidoo Olympique, 1980 Polaris 440, 1994 Indy 500, 1994 Indy lite 340, 1995 xcr 440, 2003 Polaris 800, 2009 M1000, 2016 m8000. Can’t say I’ve had a bad day on any of these sleds.

Worst POS ever: 1993 AC wildcat 700efi. Couldn’t keep a crank in that sled. 4 rebuilds before I lost my mind in rage. Parted it out. Quit snowmobiling for almost a decade lol.

Best Mod: Anything which requires the need and use of race gas. Damn addicted to that beautiful aroma.

Worst Mod: Haven’t found a tailbag I like.
