Snowmobile Repair: just wondering, dayco, horse power


Question
I was wondering if I got the slp pipe for my 600 xc dulex do you think that it could beat the 600 formula?  Also what it might top out at and how much horse-power would it have?

Answer
Hello Tim,

  Sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner. If the FIII doesn't have any mods, then yes, I think you can beat him. Just make sure you are using good gas, chaincase oil is synthetic, and that you don't have any frozen up idler wheels. Using a new belt is important too, the Dayco Ulitmax 3 would be best. I would imagine your sled would be pumping 120 hp, but it's hard to say, as there aren't any published numbers out there. Sleds of the exact same model can differ by 5-8 HP. Just make sure, if you use the SLP's that you re-jet your carbs, according to the included instructions. Hope this helps, and that you win the race! Good luck with the Polaris! --Arcticatman
