heres my new ride guys. it was frikin expensive...
Those aircleaner things are suppose to be fast!
W/C vs. turbo??
See some of you guys leave the W/C in favour of new iron, presumably turbo?
I hear power is addictive and I'm with that, but what if I "just" want 260Hp reliable, what will be the difference in riding experience/performance between a 260Hp W/C Edge/IQR and a T-Apex?

The hundy is much lighter and handles better. The Tapex does very well in the pow. The harder the snow, the tougher they get. The two stroke is snappier and quicker in the trees. I would take a Tapex in the big hills without many trees.
Well I have put quite a few miles on the turbo this year but not near as much as my 1200! if that tells you anything! both full mod chassis built with the best of everything, at fairview this year is the first time my turbo beat my 1200 (at 10K feet) but where we ride 4500-7K my 12 eats my 900 turbo at 9lbs all day long plus the bottom end "right now" power of the big tripple is 100 times funner than any turbo ive ridden, I dont care what people say about "no lag" because it comes with the clutching and theres no way around it.
I did ride a bone stock nytro with a BD turbo runnin 14lbs no head shim that was fun but 110+++ octane all day long, pump gas with my 1200 and only put 2 belts on it and I built it from the ground up no messing with it! PULL THE ROPE AND GO, PUMP GAS TORQUE!!!!!!!!!!

now that i have a few rides on the tapex, I can say I like it... I was freaking out a bit there at 1st, feeling some regret about selling the 1200. My main reason for buying the apex, it the way it just works in the deep stuff. I dont i dont like changing jet for altitude, or air temps. the 1200 suffers from altitude, and few 20-30 degrees. If could have a 1200 that ran as hard on the mountain as it did at the truck, I would have never gotten rid of it. I did get to ride the apex on the spring snow yesterday and it works great there too. My one dislike with the apex is the torque or lack of without boost. The 1200 is unbeatable in the trees, for instant torque. the apex has incredible throttle responce in the trees, but there is some lag. I had it turned up to 15lbs yesterday, it is fast.. raced daryns 1200 and beat him good on the 1st time and the second time he was only 5-6 sled behind me. I still had him out of the hole both times. It sure has been a real big learning curve, purelogic box setting, clutching, which set up works.

i cut the housing out so i could use bolts rather than the hex heads but i didnt add any more or put a pin in it. the 2 on the bottom are long. i drilled em out so i could put a long bolt in there. got to wait another day for the snow to melt out of it....lol...then i'll take it apart and see why it broke again so easy.
I have to say i put the bigger coils on for yesterday and i think it ran a little harder. not sure if it was from not riding it in 3 weeks or not but it did seem to have a little more......had a blast on it, glad it didnt break till the end of the day.

I doubt very seriously that there are very many of these 1200s running 260 hp. i think the only way your going to see that is if you have every little thing done and tuned right. though i have no real info i bet most are running in the 225-230 range.

I was sure runnin with alot of those "250hp turbos" at 10K feet at fairview
Yeah I know its all about torque but at 10K feet thost turbos have quite the advantage!
