Made it on the ice and thats about where the success ran out.
Turned amazing, carbides are the 10 inch woodys with a 60/40 split (60 percent of the carbide in the back and 40 in the front of the ski spindle). The sled felt like it was on rails and had perfect pushing power with 144 .875 traction master push through steel studs. I did put tunnel protectors on due to the chance of hitting. My clutches are as follows: p85 primary with m-10 polaris weights and a blue spring. The secondary is a polaris button slider with a 42-36-34 helix. The clutch holds rpm at 7800 and engages at 4500 (a bit low) also with these weights its quite heavy so I bogs the engine a bit. For brakes I run polaris indy hydraulic brakes and can upload the newest version of bracketry if someone is interested in the conversion. One day I will upload my carburetor specs but due to the fact that I blew the sled up on the 3rd of 3 laps on the ice, I would say I haven't been too successful with motor stuff. (It blew up due to an air leak somewhere, the jetting was rich). I'm done with the sled for about 2 months and will tear into it when I have the money to buy the parts again. The sled was far from outclassed by the competition, I was competitive even though l chose to throw it in the stock/mod class which allows porting and aluminum skis (neither of which I have). I will rebuild the engine again and be back stronger than ever next year, there are a couple of other changes needed to be made, but 90% is just the engine, unlike it was this year, where I had the entire sled to build. Thankyou guys for the support, a bit bummed but this is just the world of racing. Have a good day!!
