did you ride out of it? you look like your kissing the water!
Just put a Powerfactor on my ski and wow what a difference! My Powerhouse 4 mil 760 came to life! I'm loving my Bob more and more!! But then we just built a Gen 3 last nite...... and now I'm sold on what my next hull is for sure! The fit and finish is amazing and we had it built in probably around 5 hrs max! Everything bolted right up smooth as silk. Then after riding it I was beyond amazed!
Hats off to Derrick and the guys at the Ski Clinic!!!

Well after puttin the Powerfactor on and making countless flatwater flips with ease my little 760 couldn't handle the heat..... and the rear piston got outta the kitchen!!! Lol! The piston got too hot and expanded, snagging the exhaust port and breakin the top off the piston and taking my final bore out of my cylinder.......
What a perfect excuse to drop in a brand new Powerhouse 885 billet top end!!! With my 4 mil Powerhouse crank it will put the motor at an 898
still amateur legal with tons of grunt! Zack hopes this will be done in the next few days ....talk about a quick turn around!!!! As soon as its done ride report and videos to follow.
Also if anyone is every wanting to try out our Bobs or come ride with us I have a private pond that we test and hang out at so just get in touch with me. The pond can be seen in pics and vids listed as Toms house by jeckert.
sorry I suck at puttin links in threads.....I do all my posts from my phone and its a pain in the a$$

How did the powerfactor change your power band? Did you loose any bottom end and gain more mid?
I've been thinking about trying the pipe but don't know how well it works with non pv motors

I guess I was more wondering how it works on smaller 61x based cylinders

Yeah the power factor took a little off the bottom end out but that can be fixed with some water injection. still definitely a day and night difference and much much better!
Yes powerhouse is building there 885 motors. I believe he has 3 that arent spoken 4 yet that are almost ready

Nice, I wouldnt mind losing a little bottom and gain more power throughout. My motor is almost too much of a light switch

PM Zack / powerhouseperformace on here for more info
I just wanted to show what I saw when I walked into the shop last night. These cylinders are a work of art! I will take more pics as soon as mine is back and going together- hopefully it will be assembled and dropped in on Saturday for its maiden voyage in my Bob. We will be building two of them and both are going in Gen 2's this weekend.
My complete setup will be Powerfactor pipe and box, dual 44's, stock electronics w msd, Rival intake w carbon reeds, lightened stock flywheel, 4 mil Powerhouse stroker crank, 937 Powerhouse billet cylinder, 144 stock pump.
Hopefully this thing rips me outta the water!

I think you would be extremely happy switching to the PFP. It was the most noticeable mod aside from puttin my new billet topend on
