YEP!!!!!
Because of the weather they had to postpone testing until the weather breaks. But just the other day Mike at HPD told me they had it on the dyno again.
So -- any time now !!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Daryl" at HPD has told me 36 hp at the crank.
The cost for the complete kit has not been set yet. The whole kit will include (converted head,wiseco piston, reed cage, kehin air striker 35mm carb, air box mod, pipe and maybe a clutch kit. Just doing the math on all this stuff alone I would estimate it to be over a grand. If you already have the pipe and clutch kit I would think you would save about 300 to 400.00 dollars.
Its possible there could be more or less of the above mentioned mods. Anybody else know!!!!!!!!

ON an up note, this would put you at the same HP crank rating as the stock scrambler 400......BUT what you would have going for you, is a "different" power than that of the stock 400 +plus+ look at the weight differences. You already have a lighter machine to begin w/. W/ even more weight reductions you not only would have a very fast quad, but something that would handle much better than the heavier 400. Although I am a 400 owner, I too am excited about this conversion, b/c I plan to buy a blazer for my sweet thang in the near future.

Good luck fellas,

EC

Even if I have to sell off my first born, I will have this kit. Ok, I guess I won't sell my child, but I will find out a way to buy the kit if it lives up to all this hype.
