Re: HOSS Drive It's a 3 cylinder GM Ecotec making 75hp.

Re: HOSS Drive The videos I saw of it running were pretty impressive.
Be very nice for a stock power head to make 75hp instead of having to build these things up so much to still not touch that HP.

Re: HOSS Drive It's good to see something new, hopefully this is a step in the right direction. I wish I were able to see it at the sportsman show.

Re: HOSS Drive I saw it at a gas station in Sulphur about 6mo ago. Looked pretty good then!
My only concern is if it's going to have the necessary tq for what we do.

Re: HOSS Drive The 3rd cylinder seems to help a lot on the HP and TQ department.

Re: HOSS Drive I think a built VW air cooled or a S&S Harley engine would be better on performance. But lets see the mud that thing will sling.

Re: HOSS Drive So from what I understand Pro Drive was wantin to use the Kawasaki powerhead but Kawi didn't want to get in the business of mud motors. If this Hoss rig is actually going into production and not just a one off project does that mean we have a new manufacturer that wants to get involved in the mud motor market?

Re: HOSS Drive That thing better be fast because it's one ugly mofo. I agree, hope to see a different powerhead take off.
