He is running 60 at 2800 rpm. He claims that the e-tec has so much more ballz down low it is unreal. No problem using the grunt to pull a big wheel. Your top end should jump by at least 10MPH and do it while sipping the dino juice..
60 hp jump and all that low end grunt..should put you in the club.

Lugging the ETEC is what was determined to be the cause of MOST of the early powerhead failures. This is why BRP now REQUIRES ALL new engines sold by them to be setup and test run by a certified dealer to make certain it is propped right to reach the upper end of teh RPM range. Ask Lumber about his powerhead failure and what was teh cause of it as well as many others.

Yes they have alot of bottem end grunt, but its that grunt that can hurt them.
