I was just thinking the other day I don't think I've seen or heard of a sled with a big bore kit and Turbo. I'm just curious if it exists, I'm not looking to do it to my own sled or anything.
Yeah that's about what I figured. Is his 1200 cat a 2 stroke?
Naaahhhhhh, can't be done.
Yes, lots of Cat 1200's with boost on them. Lots of guys can make this work, Deano is one, Brent Linderman is another, Brad Story also comes to mind. As Maxwell stated though, often times the BB is built for different specs than the boost, so you need to tailor the BB kit to boost. You don't want a BB kit with 13:1 conpression and then try and add a hairdryer etc. At the end of the day, BB's add HP and boost adds HP, but you have to seriously ask yourself if you need a 350-400 HP sled though. Once you cross the 250 HP mark, most sleds are stupid fast IMO, and will take you anywhere you want to go, just depends on how fast you get there. While there is nothing like topping a hill at 70 mph that most sleds cannot even think of climbing, you really start to realize how fast you have to react when piloting something like that.
Yeah you're right the excessive power isn't really necessary. I was just curious if it's been done because of the common theme you see in any type of powersport where people will build anything just to do it. Like a motorcycle or sled with a v8 engine. And like I said its not something I'd be thinking of, I'm a first year rider!
