Just wondering the fastest top end mph some of you have got with your firecats? My brother use to have a yamaha viper with a stage II Bender kit on it and it would go 120mph. How much do you have to do to a F7 to get this kind of performance? Thank you in advance.

I have a stock(Will i have a MBRP Can) 06 F7 EFI R with i got 118 MPH last year. On both Radar and GPS.

132.844 mph, well that's kinda cheating, we had 4 F7's in a row and were drafting Talledega style.. No not really, I dont have a clue how fast my 2 Firecats go. I kinda get scared after it hits the century mark and let off. I keep worrying a deer will step out from the side of the road or another sled will be coming at me at a 90 degree angle on a lake. ouch!

I got 117mph on hard pack long straight away with 136 studs D&D clutch kit, pipe, and can racing a 02 srx 700 blew him away could not beleive it. Oh yea 05 F-7 carb. :tongue_nana:

 

[Dubielski--off]

I got 127 on a 2 mile strech of ice. I own a 03 F7. Best sled I ever owned. I guess it depends on your weight, the temperture for the day, and the conditons. There has been days where I've only gotton 115. But 127 was the best I've ever done...

Every time I go past 88mph, I end up in a town called Hill Valley back in the 50’s...

I got 129 once. It was on a completely smooth ice surface, on a lake in northern WI (forgot the name -- Vilas County) that tilted downhill a touch. It was also verified with GPS and Radar. The tilt of the lake may have added 1 or 2 more MPH, but I was flying none the less.

Oh yeah, I have 03 F7 SP with Ripsaw track, 153 studs, timing key, single pipe, D&D Y-pipe, Boondocker, and clutch kit. That was also running with the stock gearing that time.

Yeah, I rode that same lake, except uphill, still got 126mph out of mine. Oh yeah, D&D twins, Boondocker & special race carbides.

 

[cmscat50]

A stockish F7 can run 120 is setup properly. Bigger gears on the chain models and a lowered chassis will do that on ice with a little tuning.

Still water, such as a lake, will never be slanted. Just like a glass of water, one side is never higher than the other. The boat thing may be because of a current or wind, Or the fact that when something is coming towards u it sound louder/higher pitch/faster because the sound waves get pushed towards u at a faster frequency or someting, thus wen the boat is going away from u they are spaced farther out. Like what u here wen an indy car or sumthin comes towards u and flies by.

the slanted lake in winter might of been from as ice shift

So that's the secret part that Dr. Emmet Brown-Hall put on my sled last year! :tongue_nana:

 

[moparF7]

Thanks I just wanted some type idea as to the capabilities of my 06' F7 EFI my brothers 05' F7 Carb. We just started doing some stuff to the sleds, so i'll post some results if we ever get snow to test them. Going to Grand Marais on Jan. 28 for a week. Praying for a good storm up there.

BS....my Indy Trail can do 108 too

 

[ford--off]

127 on a stock 03 F7
129?

I'm callin it! bsflag

 

[Bill Brunsell]

no stock sled will ever do over 115 mph. Even a stock 05 mach z was only radared at 109.7 mph.

 

[salley347]

On the AC speedo, I've seen a best of 112mph on some decent hardpacked snow! 06 F7 EFI, I'd like to see 115mph out of it but that may be pushing it!
