Westmont,you got any top secret pro tunning info?
Deliverance!
Me thinks you sound like you've got experience handling them buggars.
I didn't change much last year. I seemed to just add fuel, oil, and ride for the most part. A change from always tinkering.
What I did change was...... drop a tooth on the bottom gear, changed out the secondary helix (steeper initial and shallower finish angles slp cut helix), added delrin washers and .070" shim to secondary, ran a variety of weights trying to keep stabilized rpm and ended up around 62.8 grams. Really other than that I just put miles on it last year. The engine is no power house but the sled gets around quite well right out of the box.
A couple other things a guy could or should do is plug off the exhaust valve solenoid hoses and if not re-route the outlet hose away from the primary clutch as it spits oil all over the place right next to the primary. On deep powder days the snow would pile up on the inside of the side panel on the clutch side covering all of the electrical and oil bottle area as well as down next to the clutches so some vent screens might be nice.
Oil bottle caps on some seem to leak when the sled is upside down. Mine seemed to be fine for quite some time and then started to leak out around the cap threads. Dealer warrantied the bottle and cap (they thought that the bottle neck was out of round).
Go thru every electrical plug to be sure they are clean and snapped together all the way. Check all electrical wiring routing as some guys had trouble with wires rubbing thru and shorting out.
As for 2012 I'm in search for more hp. More than likely a slp or carl's kit instead of a turbo for me. Not quite sure though.

Well in a way Scott, ever set in your yard chair with peanut butter and your dog close by?
sledfvr.. did i just see your apex for sale on craigs list??
You did. I want to do a 174x3" and a boost it kit, but it would be cheaper to sell it and try to buy skibumms apex. That's if I got what I was asking. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't get that much for it on here with all that's for sale. Or I may just stretch out the old rx-1, that thing is a runner too.

ok
So, where's the best price on a set of air bags for the d-max, the deck will be going on before too long and I gotta pick up the twins in style. Schwabby quoted me at over 5 hundo, if I remember right the last set I got was more like 4 hundo installed.... Oh yeah, they also said the onboard compressor would almost double the price???? WTF!!! Johnny, you got a hook up somewhere??
I'm gettin stoked to ride the new sled, er, sleds,,, but like I said, I just pretend..
MB7 might be ridin the 163 quite a bit...... I'm thinkin the 155 is gonna be FUN!! I might be able to keep up.....?????
174 3" eh Jess, maybe you can get that one to flip all the way over, instead of just end over end.................................
No turbo on this one,,,,,,,, for now.......... maybe............
Johnny, let's turbo yours this time around.............
Relentless on a PRO,,,,,,stocker????????

I put the onboard compressor on my air bags with the dual guage controller.
WOULD NOT be without either. All automated from inside the truck and I can see what the air pressure is from the cockpit. AND, I can tell you that when I load the sleds on the deck, the air bag pressure goes up about 10lbs all by itself just from the weight.
