I use egts in coralation to wash and the plugs, my sled fouled plugs stock i did what everybody said not to and pulled out the intake baffels fouling gone it was still a c-hair on the rich side when idleing but damn near perfect at WOT, i put the slp pipe on and nothing changed i didnt run a fuel box when i was running the slp single. Maybe it was 5hp in the midrange well cool i pass the midrange in mili seconds iam either cruizing or WOT.
My point was that just because slp says it makes HP doesnt mean it does in the real world i really think when people buy the slp kit that there not feeling HP from the pipe but they are feeling it put down more hp to the track from better clutching that gos along with the kit. I have other reasons against slp but they do make some great products my twins have been the 2nd best purchase they make incredible HP and not finicky . I understand slp is there to make money but trying to sell someone on something they dont need that tells me there not 100% for the customers satisfaction

I want a pro, i understand they pro is doing more with less i just want to have my cake and eat it too.
as a nondenominational sledder. some of the stuff on here is pretty funny.
For whatever reason, the pro is the top stock sled out there today. It won't be tommorrow, but today it is. If you are on the fence, get one and than when skidoo or arctic is back on top switch to them.

There is no comparison between a stock pro with better clutching and a Stage 3 SLP pro. The pipe and fuel make a huge difference and on the mountain you can tell it is definitely 15-20 hp.
It really doesnt matter tho if you want the most powerful sled then buy any of them and boost it. If you want a fun sled that you wont stop grinning on get the pro and hope you aren't one of the unfortunate ones to lose a motor. Everyone I have talked to that rode that new cat chassis was very happy with the way it handled. It is very close to the polaris chassis so probably can't go wrong with either.
In the end the polaris chassis will be slightly more aggressive and the cat motor will be more reliable pick your poison. You will never have it all. Competition is to heavy between all the manufacturers to have the best of everything.

well he tried the new kittyout, 13500 out the door, wanted the extra power over... thanks for the info
Thank you, a genius work that maybe fredw will understand.
Looks like fred is done fishing, he caught all the suckers he wanted.
I don't think that this statement is correct. I've ridden some machines that just ripped off the bottom end and felt fast but didn't really do much when you lined up to other slower feeling sleds. Hooking up but being coupled will not allow for the front end to climb on you. A lot of turbo's are running rear skids that don't allow the front end to wheelie...very much. They are definitely faster than a stock sled.
My father runs a complete stock 163 Pro. I ran the same sled but added a TIED secondary before I even rode the sled. Dropped it off when they were putting it together at the dealership. MY sled now has SLP stage III but at that time my sled felt quicker, and faster. Line up and virtually no difference. Just felt like it was though. So...I have to agree that sometimes higher HP or the illusion of higher HP means nothing on the hill.
Do you mean that the Tied clutch or the SLP made no noticeable difference compared to stock?
Polaris did their homework on this sled, and like it or not it IS the best mountain sled on the market. The design team realized that everyone spending big money on aftermarket parts is going for one of two things: weight loss and power gains.
It's far cheaper for a manufacturer to produce (in both the long and the short term) a sled with reduced weight when compared to trying to be the highest HP sled on the market (especially when horsepower doesn't always yield a direct correlation in performance).
They may not have made the riders that need the validation of having the highest HP sled happy, but they did make a group of discerning riders that know a good lightweight platform is the best place to start very happy.
I for one am glad they didn't make sled for people who are compensating for physical stature or intelligence... you know, the same group of people who list stupid things like sled modifications or current vehicles in their signature.

Ok, ill correct you. Your wrong. Traction can have that effect but skid action has more to do with it than anything. you take to sleds same track same same sled and change the rear suspension geometry and youll have completely different ski lift. Remember the old cats with the adjustable limit knob? You could twink that and make the sled walk on its tail all day long at 1/2 throttle. It wasnt a product of traction, rather weight transfer. (Correct me if im wrong.)

Somewhere between too dumb to quit and flat earth
it's also kinda funny how much better my pro runs with some exhaust valve work, and better clutching. You can have your higher horsepower sleds. Out here in the real world, there are obsticles such as trees, rocks, crevices, cliffs, stumps, ETC. You can have 500 hp if your pockets are deep enough but your not getting to where i ride unless you can actualy ride your sled. The pro is simply the easiest sled to ride. It makes you better. It is a VERY good machine!

Laughing at the truth ? Hmmm, must be another confused Doo Doo rider. Sad, really.

Low on HP or not.
I'll just stick with my under powered and totally unreliable, soon to blow an engine 2011 Pro RMK Assault
until I can snowcheck a new 2013 Pro RMK Assault!
