    VERADO on a Ranger521C

    Can anyone tell me what kind of numbers they are seeing and what's your setup? will the Verado run same speeds as Proxs? getting ready to order a new 521c would like to have a verado if the speed is there.

    Should be quite similar... and better in the heat of the summer.

    Might also ask on the Ranger Forum.....

    Altitude plays a big factor on verado vs opti

    A guy I sponsor runs a 521c with 250 verado and his buddy runs a 521c with Opti xs 250.

    BIG differences depending on altitude in how they compare up to 18mph faster from verado at 7000' of elevation.
    Where are the BIG ones? When are we going?
