E-tec 800 came out last year at 163 HP and uses E-tec, which I delive is a direct injection system(no carbs). Some guys were gettign 20 MPG's.

E-tec is a lot more expensive, has more things that can go wrong, lighter throttle pull(easier to start too I would imagine), adds a few pounds.
Actually the original Powertek was used from 05 to 07, and was carburated but had electronic knock sensors, and a few more HP, about 140. In '08 the motor was completely new (the Powertek 800R). It was carburated, had a 3 stage RAVE valve, monoblock cylinders and liquid cooled crankcase. This was 155HP. In late 2010 they released the Etec, which was actually an evinrude technology. It is completely direct injected, computerized, and very oil and fuel efficient. Makes 165HP. This is the only 800 they offer now, except possibly a Summit model.

Ah yes, the 800 went to an 800R when the XP chassis came out. Forgot about that.

Looks like the 800R PowerTEK is only available in a Summit this year. Last year it was availabel in a TNT and Renegade. There were some GREAT prices on them as everyone was after the E-TEC.

Way to go Adam!! The sport is awesome and we have some great trips and it keeps your drinking tolerance up in the off season. We just need to get Scot, Kev, Jeff and Justin in. You boys can jump in the sport for as little as $3k and if you want out you can always sell your stuff, they are not like boats. For less then $14k you can have the baddest sled out there all done up, actually you can get something great for $10k.

yea, my 800 is in my 05, its ported with a few tweaks. im able to beat most e techs on the lake i had a little trouble with one last year but it was all done up, and so quick out of the hole (lighter sled, with team secondary) i had a hard time catching up. but thats when you hit the go go button on the bars!!

for anyone interested. im selling my mach z, it has 1000 miles on it, great great condition!! like new!!! i will sell it as is with twin pipes, digitron, boondocker box and nitrous kit all set up for snow or ice racing. with minimal work it could go to a tral sled or full race. what ever you want. i will sell in any configuration including back to stock.
back to stock i will sell for $4500 all done up the way it is $6500

sled is almost 100% perfect. never crashed. chassie was smoked tested in wind tunnel and made 100% straight.

sled is mint and fast!!!
