stock venturi on an X?

[ctriverguy]

Anyone do this? I am interested in hearing about the results.. Any comments on what you have run would also be appreciated?

I am thinking of getting my stock x machined but for the price i was recently quoted it isn't much difference than ordering the riva.

I also dont plan on constantly playing with the rings either so i am wondering if the stock "P" nozzle would work well?

thanks in advance

I have played with the complete stage one set up repeatedly this past weekend. I actually liked the stock nozzle performance.

My ski ran - 75.2 mph @ 8100 rpms w/ stock venturi
76.0 mph @ 8000 rpms w/ 82 mm ring

I know the holeshot was better with stock nozzle. It seemed as if the accelleration (once on plane) was a little better with the 82 mm, but it wasnt leaps and bounds.

These are just MY observations, and could be WAY off from what others have experienced.

usually when you make the nozzle smaller the bottom end suffers.

I was getting almost 73 with the 82 mm ring and all the other stage 1 components except the riva grate and the wedge. The 82 mm ring caused that explosion of power the x has. We just need to adjust our props to work with the stock venturi. That is unless your looking for a high gps running machine.
