I always love it when someone says, it's only a 700.
Yep, of cource just a couple years ago, the all mighty 800's only made 140hp.
The 07/08 700 RMK's make just as much HP and torque as the 05 800 RMK.
This sled ROCKS. Very nimble and incredible throttle responce. It is just a fun sled to ride.
Now, you won't get the HP and torque gains you used to just a few years ago. The 05 and prior sleds (non-IQ), you could throw a Pipe, can, intake and reeds at it and gain 10-15 hp. These new sleds are designed so well you just arn't going to get any real gains with a pipe and can anymore. I've seen the dyno sheets, just not worth the cost without a full mod.
Pretty much the only way you will get any performance gains is to go with a full engine mod, big bore, stuff like that.
I put on 1400 miles a year. All in the mountains, mostly the snowies, some rabbit ears and a couple long weekends to togwotee. One thing I have discovered is, you don't need 3 million hp to have fun. I don't climb, I run trees and meadow hop. I am in the perpetual search for untouched powder and I always find it. A few times I have had a few problems getting back out, but I always find the snow.
