[FONT=Georgia]If they produce the same power at the same rpm and they are physically the same, they will react the same, wear the same and be under the same stresses and thus give out at the same time. Maybe the engine in the slower vehicle will suffer overheating problems due to the lack of...

OH, by the way.. Love the Blackie Lawless Icon...! One of my favorite bands of all time and highly under-rated!

This is great stuff.. I appreciate the information.. To clarify, the task at hand for the high alt sled is never ending.. meaning, it WILL power out and not finish the climb.. so it will be using ALL the power it has available to it at that time and , yes, it will always be less than the sea...

Thanks for the reply. The engines are BOTH running the same RPM.. they are 2 stroke engines as well.. So the ONLY difference is that one is at a higher elevation making about 25% LESS engine HP than the other.. And the one making the less power is pulling a long hill in deep snow and the one...

I agree on power output.. that is not what I am asking.. What I would like to know is which scenario. would the engine be loaded harder? I think that the engine at higher elevation pulling the heavier load would be stress much more than the engine that is at sea level no longer accelerating and...

Hello I been having a "debate" about the load on an engine when going max speed on a lake vs a lesser speed but on an incline.. Here is the basic jist of the discussion... We are talking about a 150HP snowmobile using a CVT at sea level with low snow conditions that is traveling across the...
