Smallest motor capable of combo's?

Hey guys. I'm selling off a few of my skis this winter and am taking on a small but interesting project. I want to build a freestyle ski capable of multiple combo's with a small reliable motor like a SS850. I also have full intentions on it being possibly the lightest ski in my shop which will be very difficult because my kdx is 231 and my dvx is 225. Oh and I want to run stock electronics on this one to. Is this possible? Here are my questions?

what's the smallest motor is capable of combos?
what is the lightest pump out there?

I plan on the RRP chamber or possilbly something new not on the market which is also carbon based. I will be running a full carbon hull as well. I will probably run titanium bolts to achieve that 2lbs. Also a carbon pole to help as well.

Any advice on hard hitting reliable small motors would be greatly appreciated.

Why don't we get this thread back on track instead of carrying on the derailment? @Christian_83 is doing combos with his 850cc stock stroke motor (correct me if I'm wrong on size.) I think he's running an OEM 155 pump, no idea what electronics. I think @XJCrawler 's Dasa 10mm 1000 with Mikuni 46's and stock electronics would be capable of combos in the right hull with a bigger pump.

Thanks guys :)
Yes I'm running a DASA 850 PV SS, dual 49mm Full specs, MSD digital dual ch total loss, PFP exhaust, 155mm OEM GP1200 with the OEM trim system, reversed. (i think) pump with a custom Skat trak 155 mag prop. I really think my setup hits hard and good for a small SS engine, even with the DASA that a lot of people claim to be the weakest SS AM engine. Im NO skilled freestyler, i have a total of 44 hours on the engine setup, in 3 years (3 diff hulls) :/ I really got forward with the KDX and new pump setup.
I still need a lot of training, but trying to make the 360 to flip happen on this setup. i think its possible, but takes more skills and practice but i know i will get it some day :) I really love my ski and setup and thnk it hits spot on, but would love to try a XS900 (10mm) TPE and XS1200 at WF, to feel you got all the power you need and more to (like riding a 1000cc race bike) and see if some of the stuff is doable, with less effort :)
Just few pics and videos, the video is from the second ride on the KDX.

Thanks hinky. I wasn't asking what can backflip. people can flip alluminum boats. I want to know of combo capability. I know my 900 can no problem. But I'm curious what else can.

My buddy has a hurricane. For awhile we were running stock electronics with a ss900. He can do combos and he was just learning on it. It's a carbon hull and he's running a 144 pump.
I think you might be on to something. A very light fun ski that is low maintenance. It's nice having a charging system and not messing with batteries.

For weight aren't these billet motors heavier than a cast 61x/62T? Trick ported 753 with all the goodies, 49's, Type 4, Advent with aluminum flywheel should be capable of it if you are. Should lose a few lbs in the process.
