1900 miles and reeds look like this???

[ACMtnCat]

1600-1700 miles on it last yr and only have 200 miles this yr. So I decided to check them before a road trip to SOCO and this what I find.?

What I have here is double stacked stock M8 and 1M900 reeds I had laying around from years ago. I ran 6-8lbs all last year and never saw hot egt's or hot charge temps. Did'nt do anything to the sled over the summer and started out this year running 12lbs but just don't need that type of HP so I have backed it back down to 8lbs now.

I don't think I'm going to change what I'm doing! I'm liking this CPC stage 2!!

Right on! Its great to see they are holding up for some!

I'm jealous

Nice!

How much rpm is it set up for.

Your tuning must be real good, no sputering or popping or hot intake temps.

Running it at 7800-7900 and get a solid 53 mph track speed on 7-8lbs of boost. It's enough for what I like to do. I have always run this sled very rich, I do have a boggy bottom end. I think I can live with this tho!

yep, looks like it runs like a stocker.... just another one of those weak Cutler kits

I'd like to see one of those light weight Pro's you put on a pedestal highmark me! Until I see a Poo motor do this to a set of reeds on boost or Cat makes a belt live long as mine do on boost, I'm going to stay on a oldschool POS and suffer with this kind of performance!

It isn't that the pro is on a pedestal... it's the the 12 cat fell OFF the pedestal!!!

I'm still on my M with a stage II... don't see that changing any time soon!

My reed life has been great too... hard to complain!!!

Put some MDS weights in there and you will gain another 5mph + track speed.

Are the reeds still holding tight, mine with 15-1600miles the reeds looked perfect but where not holding tight against the cage like new ones do.

53mph is on 7lbs, I can pick up 5mph by turning a knob to 8.5lbs. There's NO WAY I going to pay + of $200 for that! Oh yeah then I need a new helix and springs in addition to the MDS weights. Now I'm up to $300 for 5mph....? I think I'll pass on that!

Two of the peddles are not tight. What about flipping them over cup down?

I was turning that track speed 3000ft higher than you on pg, 6.5lbs, lol you would see more like 60mph (or more) on the same boost and longer belt life

I wouldn't flip I would just replace, 1900miles is pretty good (and lucky) so why not.
