Hey, if you feel like parting with some of those aftermarket parts before you sell it please shoot me a PM.

Thanks for explaining that, makes complete sense now.

LOL, you gotta get a red one, that way you'll be super loco You better make it...I'm stopping by your house on the way and dragging you with me if I have to Your banshee will run, if you need parts you just let me know, I got your back. I'm not worried too much about the rain, we ride in it all the time here. Hell, I'm actually going out in the rain today...should have some new helmet cam footage. I'm definitely going on those dates, I put the request in at work and my friend's got the time off too...and the vehicle to get us there; LS here I come

Sounds like a good research project for you...especially since you seem to be the only one left that's doubting what people are telling you....you ask, they answer, you still don't want to believe...find out for yourself!

For the stiff throttle, if the cable is in good shape and not binding, I heard that you can cut a coil or two off of the springs in the carb tops to help out. LOL, loco beat me to it

LOL, I'll be driving for 9 hours to get there....you better believe if I'm gonna drive that long, I'm staying until Sunday; rain or shine

How does March 23rd through the 26th sound? Would be a Thursday through Sunday

LOL, we can do that...and the great thing is I won't have to worry about how I'm gonna get there this time; my boy just bought a brand spankin new crew cab silverado, long bed with tow package. I'm gonna go ahead and talk to my boss about the date, I'll post back on here when it's confirmed

I'm thinking the same as loco....either the last week of march or the first week of april, probably the last week of march. Jeff, I'll definitely let you know when we have something set in stone!

I got one on ebay for 110 shipped. Granted, I had to look for a while but I did find it!

That's interesting. I probably would have been OK with 36's, but the way I was told that with the port I received with the pipes I'm running, the more gas I can feed it the better. Granted, that doesn't mean I need to find the biggest carb and slap it on there, I'm pretty sure when I was told to get 39's, he was suggesting those would be the biggest I could run without having too much gas (I did ask him what would be ideal for the most power). I didn't get into any technical details with him...I took his word, it worked, I'm happier than a pig in shit. I don't quite understand what you mean about the powerband only being 200 rpm long @ 9000 rpms...doesn't make any sense to me, not sure what you are trying to point out. My cylinders are not stock port and I do not have stock reeds I don't need bottom end being that my banshee is setup strictly for drag racing, it's wide open from the starting line to finish. I want as much top end as possible... Now, if someone wants to donate a set of smaller carbs (35's /36's, etc.) to do some testing on this, I'll be happy to do so and will return them when I'm done...but my whole reason for giving my scenario in this is not because I'm having any problems with my setup, it was merely to backup what I was suggesting about contacting your engine builder for the best recommendation, especially when porting is involved. I love my setup, it flat out rips and pulls really hard. I have no complaints, whatsoever.

No shit!!! Not taking away from the other great sellers on here but Jeff is one of the most honest, reputable sellers on these forums. Give the guy a break!

It depends on how much compression you're running. For instance, I was running 150 psi in both cylinders with +4 timing on 93 octane gas; no problems at all. If you are near the 160 psi range and you want to advance your timing, you'll probably want to go to a 50/50 race gas/pump gas mix. Do you know what compression you're running now? That way we could tell you for sure what would be ideal for you to run

I guess you don't want to sell your override....never got a PM or price

LMAO, I had that happen once...when I was ordering all the parts for the banshee project. They brought me my stuff for about a week and then just quit...if it wouldn't fit in the mailbox I had to go pick it up

LOL! You would think it!!! I thought that they might be too much fuel but figured I'd wait and see...sure enough, they were right on the money I'm really glad I asked my builder, he knew exactly what would work best with his portwork, no doubt!

Best thing to do is ask the person who's porting your cylinders as to which carb size would be best for your application. I was about to go out and purchase a set of 34mm carbs for my banshee before I talked to my builder, then he recommended I should get some 39's to get the full potential. What I thought was adequate would have been, but wouldn't have achieved the most power out of the portwork. It's a wise idea to talk to them and it could potentially save you some money in the long run

Search, search, search!! http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?...9&hl=yfz+shocks

Not a problem!! I'll probably aim for the weekend after that week or something

That's weird, my banshee ran 10 degrees cooler than normal once I polished my cylinders Like I said before, I wasn't 100% sure if that information was in fact true. Just wanted to pass on some info I ran across for you guys to take into consideration

MMMMM, March is sounding really good now

That's what I'm trying to decide...I wanna go in March because it's sooner, but I don't want to freeze my ass off at night, lol I'm torn between late March or early April.... Either way, both my rides are ready to go

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I did some reading on another forum where there was proof that PC'ing your cylinders will cause an increase in operating temperature...as much as 15-20 degrees, mainly because of the thickness of the PC and it holding the heat in, rather than dissipating it. If you decide to PC your jugs, I would make sure to beef up your cooling system to accomodate for the extra heat. Just for example, If you're running at 190/200 degrees now, PC'ing your cylinders "could" put you close to overheating...just my .02 Here's the thread I was talking about... http://www.yfzcentral.com/invision/index.p...l=powdercoating

There is only 1 way to know...buy a compression tester. I'm not being an ass either, I'm being truthful.
