There was a excel files.
There was a ton of snowmobile tested.
Info come from the EPA.
I dont believe the number i've seen...But why the EPA would be impartial?
If anyone show me how to put an excel file online i will put it here.
I would be willing to bet there has never been a time in history when production sleds made more HP than pre-production, irregardless of manufacturer.
Dyno numbers are meaningless. If they are low, everyone calls BS, if they are high, the sled typically doesn't live up to the hype.
Just ride the friggin thing and shut up, the money is already spent.

like everyone i was disappointed to see the 143 number but after i started thinking about it i changed my mind. most importantly all the real world reports are very, very positive and they seem to be pulling the same clutching as well if not better than the IQ's. that there pretty much answers the question. kinda. but since most of my riding buddies ride doo and a few cats, then when my sled doesn't go as high or as well (which i am not worried about in the slightest) then i can say, "well it only has 140 some hp. maybe i can find something to bump that a little...". but when the new pro goes as well, or better than the competition then i can say, "gee, i thought the new doo/cat had a lot more hp then the pro? imagine what this thing will be like when i get a (insert great mod here)..." just my opinion, fwiw. now if it would only snow so i could get off the keyboard throttle...

They are detuning them so they do not lose their *** on warrantys.

Why would you want to do that? LOL
Only thing you can do if the performance is poor is choose not to buy from them again, that's what I do.
I say wait until January when there has been some seat time to form an opinion.
No firm number yet, but an early report claims HP is a "minor" improvement over an "average" stock 800 from previous years. However, the motor was said to have minimal time on it, so not broken in. That said, the 143HP number from the demo sled this spring is probably going to end up being a bit low.
It's that last .9 HP that will get you in trouble.....
haha no its the .9 that gets you moving and breaks your fragile bulkhead
With all this talk about dyno number I just had a revelation, Dynotech Jim dynoed the CFI-4 last year with the SLP setup at around 160, same with the PC-5, both used together didn't show a substantial increase. I had the SLP setup on my 09 Dragon 163 and it would pull 62.5 gram lightning weights with 1/4" drilled out at the tips, 140/340 drive with 160/260 team secondary. It would consistantly pulled 8200-8250. SLP recommends a 3 gram increase for the lightning weights over the stock Polaris 10 series weights.
Now, first ride on the Pro-Assault 55. Total 30+- miles, sled would hit 8150 and hold with 10-62 Polaris weights, stock Polaris 140/330 drive with 160/240 Team secondary. Ron mentioned that these have built in mapping for break in, that they would not perform at best until 100+ miles or a certain number of hours. Tank was pre-mixed with one quart oil on ride. The more time on this engine when it breaks in and loosens up it can only get better, right? That being said, out of the box with no aftermarket components it pulled hard and ran really well. I think we can expect very good things from this new CFI-2 and maybe this is a bad analgy, but pulling that weight at that rpm has to mean something! Slightly less track on ground but the Assault 2.125 track is also heavier equating to more rotational mass then the 2.4 163 track. These numbers were not on a trail either, this was in heavy powder with a load on the track.
