Default 2008 RZR increase in hp??

Will the 2008 RZR get the 10% increase in Hp like the sp800 did? or will Polaris make two different 800 engines? one for the RZR and one for the sp800.

thanks

I was unaware that the Sportsman received a new engine this year sporting this and am glad that you chimed in to ask this...anybody? (I thought that the Rzr was an '08 model also; not that this designation often makes a difference anymore).

All the RZRs are 2008s

The 08 Sp800 got a 10% power increase, its the same engine though. I was just wondering if Polaris is doing the same thing for the RZR as it uses the same 800 engine. I know the tranny attaches differently on the RZR.

Again, I certainly appreciate the info and hope that this isn't the same situation we were in with our '00 Sportsman when the 'HO' version came out the very next year with many improvements (inevitable, yes..disappointing also).

I have just seen pipes and progrogramers........and the clutch shim of course.

I'm sure EPI or Hot Seat are working on Cams and Clutch Kits right now for them.

I haven't heard anything about an increase of 10% power on the sporty 800. Where did you find this info?
