Hey! This is my first post on this forum, and a pretty dumb one at that

. A few guys were talkin about 550 fan cooled sleds and the 500ss liquid cooled sleds when a guy brings up that he was drag raced by a 550X fan, while he was on his 500ss. He says there is nothing wrong with his sled and that the 550X must have something no other 550 fan cooled sleds have hahaha..oh excuse me. But anyways, I have argued black and blue to them....And yet they still say that the 550X is stock and the 500ss has absolutly nothing wrong with it. Can someone please agree with me that the 500ss would eat the 550fan..PLEASE!!

Thanks!!

The 500SS should. All depends on sled set-up and conditions and race length.

THE 500SS SHOULD WIN. WELCOME ABOARD

 

[skidoorules_98]

No shoulds about it unless the SS has 1000 pounds of drag behind it. SS in powder X on hardpack maybe, if not stock for stock the fan doesn't stand a chance.

The 500SS will take the 550 fan in a drag unless the 500ss cannot hook up and spins alot. I have heard that the new 550X fan package will keep up with most sleds till the 55-60 mph mark due to its setup but have yet to see it. I had a 500SS last year and felt bad for my buddies with 550 fans or 500cc liquids

Well being that the 500ss is the old 600, and it doesnt have to crank around a big fan to cool it like the 550f, it should blow right by the fan!

My buddy complains about spray as I pull far ahead of him on his Z580 fan.

The 500ss will eat the 550 fan easily, I have ridden both of these and the little fan runs ok, but it only has 65 horse power compared to around 110. so tell your buddy to stop wasting your time. the sled will not compare anywhere!!! to your 500ss. 550 is a great sled for a youth, female, or someone starting out>

Yup, 500ss is actually a 600 cc liquid cooled engine. How could a 550fan outperform a 600cc liquid??

I'm thinking the only thing stock on that 550F must have been the sticker they bought to replace the 600HO or 800HO sticker they took off.

I own both a 500ss and the 550F. We just spent 4 days riding 700 miles and the 500ss could walk away from the 550F every time. There must be something else going on.

 

[DOOdude09]

the fan on the 550 should blow the 500ss rite passed itself

 

[dooit59180]

500SS is 104 hp.
550f is 70 hp.

In a race 0-50/55 it will be close, but after that the 500SS pulls away.
