Phazer powder performance

[hyperduc]

Okay...I'm back into snowmobiling after a 6 year hiatus.

My last ride was a 2003 800 RMK, with a couple add-ons it was a fun and capable ride.

The new sled that I'm looking into buying is a 2009 Phazer MTX, a local dealer is blowing out the left overs and I'm not sure I can pass up the deal. I know the sled stock is way down on horse power, well as it also happens I found a great deal on a new MPI supercharger.

Horsepower wise I think I will be happy with it, but with the shorter narrower track is it going to be a turd in the powder? I've really been impressed with the 600 RMK 144", but i'm not really a fan of the polaris itself.

With a capable rider and the extra horsepower is this going to be a fun ride for someone looking for a boondocking sled?

if you get the supercharger to work well, and if you throw in someting like a 153 cut down 14.5 wide you can keep up with any 8 and the old 900s since you hardly lose power at elevation, but even though your getting a great deal add up all the costs for sled, super charger and associated costs with supercharging a sled. I bet that total won;t make it a steal of a deal compared to a new stock mtn sled that will work just as well and no hassles such as running race fuel, etc.

i'd personally still take the supercharged phazer cause stock sucks anyways.

Hyper - save yourself the work (unless it's calling your name )and buy a Nytro. Look for a used one around your area, as I saw 2 with 80 miles on them for $6500 each up here in Alaska. I know you can find one for somewhere around that in the states...

I love mine, and I came off of a 2000 Mountain max mod. Sled feels just as quick, and after adding a 19 tooth top gear, will pick the skis up with a 153".

I really like the reliability. Turn the key and go. Hope that helps!

but if he went with an '08 '09 nytro or even a new '10 se nytro he'll still have to put on a relocater (unless you like banging your knees on the bars) and maybe even a new track.
if i was you i'd go with the phazer and put a 151x14.5 and maybe later down the road put on some simmons 2s on it

You will 100% hate the phazer in deep snow. Your RMK will run circles around it even if it had a sc/turbo. Dont waste your money because you will end up with a ton of cash into something you cant sell.

Com on now --- I know for a fact that a turbo ar supercharged Phazer can realy kick 800 *** -------

However they will not stand up -- the engines can not handle the power

So save youselve the blow up and get a Nytro or Apex.
