I can honestly say this : I own a heavily "modded" raptor and that woverine has towed it and others freinds banshees (Roostking for one) back to camp. Its not the fastest,it's not the most powerful but when the day is over it has stood its own ground. I paid 4,500 OTD when the 02's came out and I'll tell you this much. It will stay long after the raptor has gone (hope my raptor didnt hear that) Get some titan 489's , stockers $uck.

Michael

Im not worried about speed. Where am I going to go 50 mph through the woods where theres no straight aways plus even if I do find a straight away, I aint a speed demon some where around 50 is ok for me for now. Another question....how much is insurance :-) I know you dont need it and my friend doesnt have it but once I get my Wolverine im taking it to the extreme

02BigBear4x400, my Big Bear is better in the mud than my wolvy in mud. This is because of its higher ground clearance,its bigger tires, and its gearing. I'm not sure how much better the Big Bear is than the Wolverine in the mud though. I only got one chance to test the Wolverine in the mud last winter so Im hoping to test them against eachother this winter, along with my Rancher.
The Wolverine climbs better than the big bear. The wolverine is also a lot more stabble on hills. Sometimes when i ride the big bear on steep hills,it looses traction and starts hopping, While the wolverine just walks up it. The big bear is 100 times better for rock climbing and downhilling though.

Yea, its about 40 miles South of Morgantown, something like that anyway. The torque stuffer gives a little more low end torque and maybe a little bit of hp. When I put in on, it was with a number of other mods at the same time, I never tested it seperatly. Its only $30 so i figured what the heck, nothing to lose. Although if I modify my engine any more I will have to take it out. Its hard to explain really, though if you have slight modifications on your bike its not a bad idea to put it on. When I go to a .430 race cam and a 365 kit with a 10.5:1 compression I will have to take it off reason being, my new mods wont be able to be taken full advantage of because it actually restrics the header a little bit because the Warrior and the Wolverine come stock with oversized headers. That is why this mod is availible to only these 2 machines. The torque stuffer causes what is called a venturi, it looks kind of like a funnel and it goes in the top the head pipe right out of the engine this restricts the exhaust at first when it comes out of the engine, then when it passes through, the exhaust exits the torque stuffer at a faster rate of speed than it entered it. Hope this clears things up.

ya I know what you mean about how the big bear is a little more unstable then a wolverine. Sometime I felt like I was going to roll my BB going down a hill. Have you ever done like a shootout of your own with your BB and your rancher?? Maybe even the wolvy too I would love to rear ab0out what you would have to say comparing these guads. I am sick of seeing so much raptor and banshee stuff it just gets boring to read about
