It probably remains to be seen how the new motor updates respond to the SLP single pipe and can but what were they doing before, I'm curious what I can expect from the '08 and '09 motor if i add the SLP exhaust? It needs to be noticeable if not substantial in order for me to drop that much money. I suppose you will see greater gains with a PC3 box but how about just the exhaust with the proper clutching? and, how does it affect warranty? thanks

most who just throw the pipe on with the clutching they have wont notice much difference, if you spend the time to adjust the clutching when you add the pipe you will notice a big difference....what I have found is with both stock and single slp you need more initial helix angle to get it to upshift harder, secondary spring works good, delrin washers help alot, some sort of heel heavy weight, series 11, belly busters, MTX work better, primary spring I have found best results with heavier both on initial and final pressures...for what its worth..I run 62/42/.46 helix, 3 delrins,stock sec. spring,mtx 68 gram weights with 2 grams in the tip and 1 gram in the belly, slp green/pink spring....rpm wise on the old updates I found best performance on the steep and deep pulling 8450...under 8300 and it falls on its face...I ride from sea level up to 8000ft(have to drop a couple grams at the higher alts...)

DYNOTECH Research (www.dynotechresearch.com) just completed testing (last week ) of the SLP set-up (with and with-out the PC III/5) and other pipes along with the PC III and different heads on the 2009 800 with the updates.:cool:

DYNOTECH ran a 2009 with updates last week, here's Stoutner's comments:

A few answers...

Once we installed the updates the sled made about 10Hp more than the un-updated motor.
The motor just plain ran a lot better once the updates were installed
Fuel controller was still a good boost on HP
Modified cylinder head was still a good boost on HP
Some pipes made some good HP
I'll be running my updated sled, modified cylinder head, and PCIII and will be pulling at least 160HP.
Intake air temps never got below 50 degress and I think the motor will like 15 degree temps a lot more than 50 degree temps...but that is just my opinion.

We tested the Power Commander V and it really was sweet. You basically hook it up, set your desired a/f ratios, run the sled, it adjusts fuel and trims fuel to your desired ratios. It only took about 3 dyno pulls for the PC V to trim the fuel to being just about perfect. That looks to be a great tool if you decide to start with it, add pipes, cans, porting, etc. You'll basically be able to automatically re-tune your fuel without having to go to the dyno.

All in all, it looks like Polaris really got it right with this update. Time will tell but it looks really promising so far.

PC5 sounds cool as heck! And that's awesome news on the updated motors!!! Hopefully it turns out that way for everybody!

SLP REALLY woke up my 8. Night and day difference. Highly recommend. I'm also curious what this set-up will run like on the update. Now I can't wait after hearing the dyno results!!:beer;:):beer;:):D
