According to a pic in Modquads profile, polaris says the 05 Pred has 50hp or a .121 power to weight ratio. They show a yfz450 with only 37hp and a .106 power to weight ratio. Did they also bump up th hp on the 05. This would be awesome. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

The graph that I saw in Modquads profile, they compared it to the YFZ, 450R and the Raptor.

I just saw them comparing the HP to the yfz450. In the other charts they compared the raptor and z400.
I believe the 50HP is for the TLD?

at first in 2003 they wanted to be at 50 hp,but so far i thing everyone known¸they were detuned a little for first year production and improvment
was to come so,the engine is now race ready from what i heard,the CDI
BOX alone give extra ponies on top end.,,happy 50th the predator

The did change the Rev limit on the 05. I would imagine that some internals were changed to allow that

But what do I know?? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
