You got that right Cobaltpilot...I am completely pooched after a 10hr straight run home....but a lot nicer with the new boosted sled on the deck!
I am going to cheat a little here and basically cut and paste my post I just made on the PRO threads. I already got accused of being a "paid advertisment" by someone...not sure if he was joking or not. But those ofr you who know me or have met me know that i just tell it how it is...if I was dissapointed, you would know, i have no reason to lie.
it blew my mind...was far more user friendly and - more importantly - responisve to my style of riding - than I could have imagined.
had a blast out there in montana...got myself the fanciest jacket an man ever has seen, and didnt have to cross any lines to get it.
I will tell you this right now...Shane Hart is a guy you want to buy a turbo from. 'cause he will not stop until that thing is working perfect. I was so highly impressed with the whole gig - right down to him taking is SUnday morning to help sort my sled-deck out.
i was very concerned about buying a boosted sled as I predominantly ride in tight tree'd gullies in deep snow. Lag-time has always thus been a concern. I was also unsure how the fuel mapping etc woould stand up to being in and out of 1/4 throttle for long periods of time followed by an instant hit on the throttle to full WOT.
both conerns were aleviated within minutes. The sled wheelies at 6.5lbs in snow to boot.
Shane had that sled running perfect for me within minutes...explained how to adjust mapping according to condiditons etc...adn then I was off.
If you are considering boosintg, you HAVE to take a serious look at HM turbos...call Shane 406-273-6111 and just tell him what you want out of the sled, and then it happens.
I bought a 163 with cammo extreme 2.5", boosted aslong with intercooler (just in case), shocks were revalved for 250lbs, vented, riser.....ready to ride.
I still cannot beleive how responsive and how well that sled works tight in the trees. its the stock power curve, times two.
Anyone wants to try my sled and see for themselves...get your *** to whilstler.
Very much enjoyed meeting Curt from Fastrax too...that man will be getting my business for sure too

For those that do not know, I bought the 163...it has the Cammo Extreme. It was running just a little over 6lbs boost on Saturday.
I took it STRAIGHT into the tight trees and started in and out of 1/4 throttle for a a while, trying to drown it in fuel...then I pinned it. The throttle reponse is instantaneous.
This was my first ride on a boosted sled and I was completely blown away. Its the same power-curve as the stocker, only double the power.
I also had shane install the water/air intercooler. Also he had the shocks valved for my meek 250lb frame.
Clutching was perfect...engaging at around 3900rpm (offical now Shane as I tried her out today)
Guys, I am not being biased...you need to check out HM Turbo's and if you are contemplating a boosted sled you need to talk to Shane (406-273-6111...I remember it off by heart as I have been bugging him for the past couple of weeks).
This guy will go out of his way to make sure your sled WORKS and will share any updates.
I will keep you posted on my future rides....
very sincerely
