2871 no need for more it will make more power than you can ride sanely.the 30 has allot of top end & will pull for ever but you will lose the response of the 28rs.most of the big boys in canada run the 2871 & they climb stuff you shouldnt
I agree the 2871 is more than enough, the 30R has too much lag and won't be efficient until 30+ lb. boost.
You didn't even really have the 28RS cranked up and you already want more???????? Seriously though for the type of riding we have around here I would stick to the 28 RS.
When is it enough????????
I'll wait until I have maxed out my 28RS before I move on. (probably never happen) By then the sled will probably be bent in half.....Well that could be pretty soon at the rate I'm going!!!
When are you picking it up?? Might send mine down with you for Rods/pistons.

Just had Dustin at Outlaw install the 2871 with all the motor work behind it and WOW! I think the 2871 is all you'd ever need. Very responsive at low boost, I can't wait to turn it up!!!!
Should be an awesome winter!!

just so you know 28rs is good to around 20lbs boost efficiently & 2871 26-28lbs boost.most of the fastest sleds run 20lbs to 22lbs boost
According to Dustin anything over 20-22 lbs needs valve train upgrades as well.

he gave me a price on this to I dont no wtf I would do with 22lb of boost anyway he is doing some work to the ez ride. The 2871 is less money than the 28rs
Did he get it cracked open and see what happened??

It also depends on the elevation you ride at. At our elevations in AK, the 28rs is the turbo to have. If you ride 7000+ feet then 20 lbs will be really working the 28rs. Many guys are running the 2871 with the smaller exhaust housing to help make up for the additional lag.

most of my rides are at 2000 to 6000 ft. and a long climb for the most part will be 300-400 yards MT Baker and St Helens are the exeption the most important thing to me is no lag and hard instant power due to the steep tree
riding that goes on I need the power to make up for the lack of skill so I can keep up with Sap
Whats the max boost everyone would run in areas like revy with the 28rs with head shim and straight c12.

I have not asked yet waiting to call on motor dont want to bug him I own a auto shop so its easy for me to get turbo and shop pay 4 it. I told him I was going to get the 28 rs and when I went to get it the guy at the turbo store sugested the 2871 but he is in South Carolina I dont think he understands the turbo MT sled deal he just said it would make more power and a little slower to spool. Boondocker sales it as a UPGRADE?????? or so they say
