well first of it is there weight, they don't way shit compaired to other sleds in there class, add in an 13" track and it magick. and there motors are race tweeked right from the factory, almost all other sleds other then polaris are comming this way, oh yeah just want to correct my post on the 900 fusion i said 160hp it is 149.6 man thats sad!!! i got to change my job LOL

Yea im with blaster. The arctic cats are nice but the first (and last) time riding a f7 i was crusin at about 85 mph and the pipe broke apart. I love how these companies are trying to come up with a new chassis to compete with ski-doo and they are cutting alot of corners. Ski-doo has been working on the REV chassis since about 1997 or 1998 was when the first prototype was made. Hats off to arctic cat pipe engineers tho.

yea no shit i think that ditch pickles are pretty fast but they sound like crap but i know a company that has a motor in their sled that was made by s&s its a blade ill try to post a link if i can find it.

[Blaster]

I think itd be better to just buy a 2005 mach z for 11,000$ or whatever they are instead of around 15,000$ ++ for a Blade. A mach z will be easier/cheaper to get parts for plus all in all its probably a better sled.

I am about to build a Cat powered dragbike, using Price cylinders and heads, looking for about 275hp on gasoline. You guys have any recommendations on pipes? Already have a set of 50mm Lectrons and a good engine builder that will tell me what pipes to use but it never hurts to ask around.

[Blaster]

well first mistake is using a cat motor go with a rotax.

Arctic cat motors arent bad motors. Call up AAEN or The crank shop vt (www.thecrankshopvt.com) for some nice pipes.
