Artic Cat Engines

[cr80racer]

on sleds making alot of horsepower a buddy of mine knows some kid with and arctic cat 440 sno pro that makes 185 hp and he can waste f6's with pipes and other things done to them and its a 440. ohh and 370 they make 1000 2 stroke sleds. they have an unlimited class in grass drags for 1000's and the speeds are like 120 and thats in a 1/4 mile, the sled are so loud

yea ski-doo just came out with the mach z 1000 which means it will decimate anything that comes up next to it

the 440 snow pros are race sleds...very fast tho..i heard even a stock f5 will do 120mph

I have been looking at various engines for a couple of years, seems like the Cat engines have been dominant. Does anyone build a big displacement Rotax that would go 260-300hp?

the crank shop vermont builds some big bore rotax motors. Their website is thecrankshopvt.com i think check it out they have some sweet stuff I have a set of their pipes for my sled.

talked to Northern Crank and Blackcat Racing, ended up with a billet crank and Blackcat bottom end with Price Cylinders and heads, Jaws pipes, 50mm Lectrons and MSD ignition. 1385cc and dyno'd at 318 corrected, 328 uncorrected. Should be in a bike by Christmas.

i ain't all to sure if this was already said.... but from what me and my dad hear down to D&D (a BIG name in sledding if ya dont know) arctic cat may skip puttin a GSXR 1000 motor and instead, put in a haybusa (spelling??) motor. thats a 1300, and a 4-stroke, but it will probably fly by the RX-1 of yamaha....

and i want to add, we own a zr800 with twin pipes, reeds and some other little this, and it will beat a mach Z in a mile run ANYDAY!! i know this cause our sledding buddy has one, and i have watched them race (my dad was on the 800) but im just saying... so people shouldnt be thinkin the MACH Z is invincible (once more spelling?)

[Smokin'Gun]

Yeah maybe you can beat it but your sled wont outlast it wait till your going 100mph and you lose a main bearing, the clutch or a skirt on the shit stock arctic cat pistons. Ive seen all 3 happen on the ZRs they are a poorly designed sled that was hurried through r&d and production to compete with the other manufacturers at the time.
