thanks sleeper thats what i just got done doing hope it works this time. Just out couriousity what is everyone doing for clutching for a 1200wc from 8000ft to 11000 ft in elevation.thanks
I used a 60 shot on the 12 hundy and it was a boondocker setup. I had zero issues. Ran three single manifolds, put them in the ends of the pods and swapped them into the air box for the deep days.

Talk to madcow on Slednutz, he had a nitrous kit for a triple for sale at one time. He might still have it.
If you have dialed in your motor, and you are using a EGT monitor, like a digitron, for monitoring your motor. Then no, it was super easy. It took me about 3 pulls on the road in at low elevation, then three more up top. Just like power jets!!
ft lbs
how many ft lbs are torqued on say
crank case=?
cylinder nuts=?
head=?
fly wheel=?
im sure it has been talked about ??? pages back

You dont need a spacer just cut out the bulkhead on the right hand side make sure you have plenty of clearance for the mag housing or you will break it of the motor if it rubs Trust ME .
Has anyone ever used a top end kit from Price Power?

Dont do that !! If you do that you will not have a pure Polaris motor anymore
That would be the same as if your wife had a horse leg....she would probebly run as hell a few days but she would not be pure....and ugly as hell...LOL

you could cut the bulk head, if ya do make sure to reinforce it again. i did this a few years ago and the bulk head only lasted one season before it cracked to hell. it did have about 4000 miles on it when i droped the 1200 into it.
The second bulkhead i used, i raised the engine about 1/2 inch off the engine plate that i got from brad. this put the bottom of the engine above the part that you would have to cut out. very easy to do. i have some pics somewhere if you want em. either way its gonna hall azz and break that chassis........
every Edge ive seen last a few seasons before the bulkhead is toast.

Even if the bulkhead is reinforced, they still crack up? Then what chassis do you guys recommend? I'm looking for a chassis to start an asphalt project.

WTF??? Ugly
Dude, these powerplants are anything but ugly. And the power + reliability you get is hard to beat...

I'm sure Woody ment that any wife would be ugly with a horse's leg! lol.
That said, price motors are far from as appealing as a pwc case with polaris cylinders and a nice one-piece head!
The price configuration is old school, and not as good, nor as good looking!
I.M.O.
Ps. And I know for a fact Woody just dynoed a safe 260 hp in a Pure Polaris 1200.
So there are both power an reliability.
And that's not at 9500rpm, but at a calm 8500rpm.

To each his own I guess. In my opinion it is far more sexy to have a set of Price cylinders under the hood than stock polaris.
Besides, with a stroke of 65mm my piston lives a good life at 9500rpm.
And as for 269hp that is about the number Urban Erixon has in his Cat based 1055cc price asphalt sled. Yes, this is prostock trim, but try getting 270hp out of a w/c 1050 engine without boost or Nos..
Happy trails.
