just for the record, I hate all you guys. This last weekend was the first time in 2 months that the weather was even nice enough for me to get the tractor out and clear the massive drifts out from in front of my garage so I could even get the bikes out. I wish I could make it down there and ride with you all. - Jared

611cc Big Block Twister cylinders, ported by Firehead 78mm bore Hand-Coned Shearer Big Bore OOF pipes, made specifically for this engine. VForce3 reeds Upp Intakes for 38-41mm carbs Skidoo Powervalves 10mil stroke 136mm rod billet crank Straight-cut gears Billet Basket Ricks Stator (NOT RICKY STATOR JUNK) Stock flywheel Dyna FS Programmable ignition with custom curves programmed for this engine 2-5 Override Billet 2nd gear Cases bore/trenched/port matched to cylinders by Firehead Very low hours on top end. This is an amazing engine and runs absolutely flawless. Nothing was missed. Firehead did an amazing job with this engine and it runs very hard. I hate to try and sell it, but I've got some bills I need to try and take care of, and I'm still trying to find a sidexside for my dad. I haven't had much interest in the entire bike so I figured I would try and sell just the engine. I am keeping the carbs, lockup & cover, and stator cover. $5500 shipped. The cylinders alone go for $3k and the crank is another $1.5k. You can't build this engine for the price I'm selling it for. Here's a few clips I had handy of it running. The first is a race at Walden, CO against a 770 who was spraying. The second is just a solo run up a hill at KP. The third is a race againt a FAST 4mil drag bike and a stock YFZ450. http://s260.photobucket.com/albums/ii14/WyoBanshee/?action=view&current=4beed24b.flv

Yeah, I saw some of those hibiscus radiator covers on ebay. Can you PM me a price for one that would fit her maier plastics? Thanks! -Jared

They are maier pink plastics, not painted.

Forgot to add... its also going to have a full-body skidplate and swingarm skidplate so she can bash into whatever she wants. lol! The white on the headlights is also going to be pink when we are finished.

Here's some pics of my girlfriends pink banshee we just got running. We still have a few things planned for it, but its up and running. We are still going to do the front and rear hubs pink. We've got some pink shock covers on the way from ebay. We are also going to do a custoom seat cover from ebay in pink and black. We also found some flower pattern billet parts like the clutch cover and stator cover that she wants. We are also going to get a flower pattern radiator cover. The rear tires are just some dirt tires I had on the bike for moving it around and test-riding it. Her dune tires have douglas aluminum rims, not the steel black ones in the pics. Her bike is the stock stroke one in my sig. - Jared

I run the 2.36's in my twister and the water pump gear had to be trimmed to fit.

PM Sent.

Thanks for the correction mark. I haven't had any interest in it, chances are it will still be in my garage next time you come up to shoot shit. You'd be able to see your little bastard banshee child again. haha! Here's a couple clips I dug up last night. http://s260.photobucket.com/albums/ii14/WyoBanshee/?action=view&current=4beed24b.flv&newest=1 First one is a 770 raptor spraying, second is just a solo run, last is racing a 4mil FAST drag bike and a stock YFZ. lol

[email protected] 307-214-1579 970-219-3042 I do have videos of it, but I'm at work and don't have any of that stuff on my work laptop. I can email you some when I get home tonight. Thanks again - Jared

Price dropped to $7000. Cylinders alone are 3k.

Yes, it will make his top speed numbers different than the chart, but not by enough to substantiate his claim of 108mph. Especially with PT pips, they don't rev high enough, or make enough power to push a banshee to those speeds. Another factor that those charts and speed calculators don't take into consideration is wind resistance, rolling resistance of the tirs, loss through the transmission, clutch slippage, your bike being out of tune, road surface, or frictional losses inside the engine. Those are just simple math calculators based on gearing ratios of the individual gears in your transmission and sprockets. Thats it. So, real world speed would OBVIOUSLY be much less than what those calculators spit out. So, even if the calculator says you can go 100mph with A & B gearing and X tire height, it does NOT mean that's how fast you are really going here in the real world. I think you 100+ mph guys are living in little fantasy worlds, or woke up in the middle of some kinda creepy banshee wet dream and are trying to pass it off as reality. The guys who actually do go faster than 100mph know what it takes and how ridiculous some of these mph claims are. Hell, I've never even been 90 on a banshee and I know these 100mph claims from some of you are just flat out ridiculous considering what you're claiming you have for a setup.

I'm gonna go with... no. With taller gearing on the basket, 14x39 gearing, 20" tires and PT pipes you're not going that fast. Just not physically possible. You don't have enough gearing, enough tire height, or enough rpm to get there. Plain and simple math. I'm starting to think a lot of you guys are star trek fans and you think you have some sorta warp drive attached to your ass.

If I had the $$ I definitely would. That bike runs good.

I will testify this bike is a beast! Runs freaking awesome! I've got videos of it in action at walden if anyone wants to see video. Great runner for sure and a great price for how hard it runs. If you end up parting it out, let me know I'll bring cash to your door for a few parts off that bad boy kiel. =) - Jared

Alky likes higher compression and more timing. (in most cases) Most builders will recommend different domes for running alky, but if you are low on funds or just trying it out you can certainly run gas domes. The basics for alky... Drill your gas cap. Pingel valve. Carbs set up for alky/meth. Billet bowls (depends on what you do with the bike). Higher compression. More Timing. Good Fule Lines/Vent lines. I run methanol in all my bikes, even the dune bikes. I don't really consider it a pain to tune, but I've been using it for a few years now in the dunes. We run it really rich and safe. I love it and gas setups scare me after running meth for a few years. lol!

Is that one of the Twister Sniper setups?

I seem to have a knack for making threads go all to shit. lol

From what I've experienced and heard from others, the twisters seem to like a little bit bigger carb and the higher flowing/reving pipes like CPI, Shearer, Rockets, etc. I think it all comes down to tuning, setup and porting. Its whatever your builder recommends...

I was told that my engine setup ran a 3.7?s 300ft in oregon when firehead had it up there. You would have to ask him to verify this though, since it wasn't me who ran it. I saw a guy on planetsand who had a 14mil small block that ran a few 3.8's, so I would think it wouldn't be too far fetched to get a big block (bigger bore) 10mil to do some numbers close to that. I'm not sure. We just race with friends out on the dunes and at sand mountain. Two different worlds. If I make it to the top of sand mountain without sucking my bowls dry or having a pump fail I'm happy. haha!

I don't want to turn this thread into a bunch of bickering back and forth. Both sides are going to be pretty loyal to their own group. I said at the end of my last post that it was JMO. That's all it is, is just my opinion. Loco, you'd have to talk to Mark (firehead) about the numbers he got out of my setup. He did the cylinders himself and tuned them in-house. I believe it was RWHP, but he does have engine dyno's. I guess if the numbers are that big of an issue you could ask him about it. I usually ride at 7000ft or higher, so it obviously wouldn't be that high where I ride. I think the fasest cylinders are in the laydown bikes, and I have no clue what kinda engines those monsters even run. ...and they run nitromethane if I'm not mistaken, so its not really comparable. We were talking about small block twisters and cubs, you're taking it out of perspective. The changeable intakes and exhaust flanges simply offer more versatility to custom suite your setup. They are not "more junk to buy" they come with the small block setup. You just have to let them know which ones you want when you order. If you want to keep your old reeds, intakes and small bore pipes, then you can do that. If you want to try and get every last little umph out of it, then you could go with the larger intakes and big bore flanges. Its just options you can have with the choice of the small block, and from the factory. Can you order a cub with big bore flanges and larger intakes? No. You'd have to go with the cheetah, which is a lot more expensive than the twister small block. (but it does have the option for powervalves, which the twister does not) The small block twister does have superior cooling characteristics and flow through the head than the cub cylinder. Bringing a DMX or even a DM cylinder into the conversation is a whole different ball-game. You're talking some huge cylinders, which would be better compared to a big block twister. I thought we were just comparing the small block to the cub, super cub and maybe the cheetah. Also, bringing engine temps after a single pass into the conversation doesn't give much grounds for comparison. I was simply looking at the small block vs the cub. The small block twister offers higher coolant capacity, and a head that accomodates larger volume flow. If you don't believe me, purchase a flow bench and do some tests. Firehead already has, and the twisters offer better cooling characteristics than a cub or supercub. I'm not sure about the cheetah though, they have a different head design and different heat passage layout. I'd also be willing to guess that if you run a DMX that you run alky or methanol or methylalchohol, which would have a drastic effect on your engine temps. I will leave it at this, and let anyone reading this form their own opinion. I don't want a good useful topic like this to turn into a few people just going back and forth and taking away from the good technical information that's been presented (FROM BOTH SIDES). I'm a billet cylinder guy and you guys are cast cylinder guys. They both have benefits, and I've seen both cylinder designs perform exceptionally well. In the end it all comes down to who you do your porting, and the rest of your engine setup. If you have fun with what you have and you enjoy it, then I'd say you got your money's worth. For me, its fun to have one of the cylinder designs that isn't so main-stream. Plus they just look cool. IMO. Its all a money game. If you're happy with what you spend your money on, great! The variety of the parts available for these bikes is what makes our corner of the ATV market so much fun. - Jared

Cubs don't have changeable intake manifolds or exhaust flanges. Its cheaper to bore an iron sleeve than to get a cub cylinder re-plated. Down-time for a bore on an iron sleeve is also less than a re-plate. I've owned both, and know first-hand. That's a pretty broad statement that a smallblock will never out hp a cub. Too many variables involved in it to truthfully make that statement. It all comes down to porting and setup. The twister cylinders have better cooling characteristics, better head-stud layout, changeable intakes, changeable exhaust flanges, and iron sleeves. If you can afford the extra coin, the twister cylinders are a very nice investment that offer quite a few benefits over the cub cylinders. JMO.

If you are having that many problems with burned clutches I'd wager a guess that you have some worn out parts or your clutch isn't adjusted correctly when you're putting it together. Are you soaking your clutches? Just get a RMATV Tusk clutch kit, it will hold up just fine to a 350 if you have everything adjusted correctly and your basket and inner hub aren't worn or grooved. - Jared

Yeah, its a 10mil big block twister. Its a +10 swingarm with an HS Customs hillshooter frame. Firehead dyno-tuned the bike in my sig up in oregon and it made 152hp.
