the pump gas kit is low boost only the race gas kit you can run low boost on pump gas or put race in it and turn it up.

Go race gas kit. You can run it with pump gas no problem but it still leaves you the option of turning up the boost encase you end up getting the need for more speed. I picked myself up Cutlers stage two kit for that reason. Its good to 10 PSI as that is as far as I want to go for reliability. I will start around 5-6 PSI boost on pump gas and then probably top out at 8 PSI on AV 100LL. My riding style is pretty much the same as your's, trees and boondocking with hill climbs but not big as$ed chute climbs. I figure after riding with the new extra power that my riding style will change to some degree so I went race gas.
Better to have and not want than to want and not have!!!

I did ride with a guy running the Twisted race gas kit and it was rockin all day. Nice kit as well.
I have never had a guy buy a race gas kit and wish he had gone with the pump gas setup. I have had almost every pump gas kit that I have sold get upgraded to race.
I am going to order the race gas kit but how is the 153 compared to a 162? does the 153 wheelie more than the 162 ?

So I got the race gas extreme kit from twisted turbos and is getting installed next week. I have a couple of questions, i know with the twisted kit u have to mix your gas was just wondering about octane levels and boost.... how much boost lets say 8 to 9 pounds how much octane would you reccomend..... what if my wife wants to ride the sled how much can i turn the boost down can i turn it down to 1 pound if u can can you run 91 octane....

I would phone Shain at http://www.twistedturbos.com/ or call Brian at http://www.canadianpowermachines.ca/?page_id=154. Either one will be able to give you the correct info.
going to depend on elevation, I don't think I would drop below about 4lbs it could mess with the fueling and you should be able to run straight 91 oct, at low elevation 4lbs 9-11,000ft 6-7lbs. Get Twisted to clarify, he will know what you want.
