Can`t wait to see the GRR Crew this weekend! I have run 4.2`s-4.3`s on studs this year and 4.3`s-4.4`s on Pro-Wedges (1`s or 2`s) Gas - 350 - Stock Frame

TRUE..TRUE...

Samuel L. Jackson in (my favorite movie) Pulp Fiction.... Quentin ROCKS!

Gomer..your #1 and #3 are "Dazed and Confused" (forgive me if this has already been used, did`nt feel like reading the whole post.... "Wiggle your big Toe"

DragBanshee02....you say you have his "drag port". What is your average time in 300'.....with perfect conditions?

Nothing like a little R&D.....

And what "other" part might that be??

Amen!

IMO...AlcoholBanshee and Lightninn2 are right on. Think about it....both a strut and a shock transfer the SAME amount of weight...why wouldn`t they? The main variable involved is the amount of TIME that it takes to transfer this weight. With a strut, the weight transfer is instantaneous...(and consistant every time) With a shock (depending on valving/settings/rider weight...and so on) it takes TIME to reach 100% of the weight transfer. And yet another thing to keep in mind, ALL shocks have some kind of rebound to them (otherwise they would`nt be a shock) and at one point or another that rebounding effect is going to try and do just the opposite of what you are trying to acheive with weight transfer. I`m not saying a shock is bad.....just different, and before you knock a strut...try it. I ran with a strut last season, on dirt, and in the latter part of the season, managed a consistent high 1.4 second 0-60`. As Lightninn2 said.....it`s in the SETUP !

erbilabuc.....were those sanding drums stout enough to handle the sleeve without having to go through a large amount of them? The aluminum I can see not having any issues, but the sleeve is pretty tough stuff.....

LOL Throttle Cable ?

O.K....maybe I did world that a little funny. But try this....it IS more than about backpressure...in a way. With the proper amount of backpressure you will maintain a critical amount of heat or pipe temperature. This temperature (which can be manipulated due to backpressure) is important to the return wave reaching the exhaust port in time. Here....read this.... The rpm band in which a pipe pumps maximum air into an engine depends on the speed of sound in the pipe, causing the suction and pressure waves to arrive at the exhaust port at the correct times. The speed of sound in a gas depends on its temperature. This makes sense because temperature is really just the average speed of the molecules whizzing around in the gas. The motion of any disturbance in the gas--a sound wave--is limited by that average molecular speed. Raising the gas temperature raises the average molecular speed, and the speed of sound rises with it. So a hotter pipe acts shorter than a colder pipe. At room temperature, the speed of sound in air is 1087 feet per second, but inside an exhaust pipe it is much faster--1500-1700 feet per second. As the exhaust port opens and the high-pressure pulse dumps into the header pipe, the pulse may initially move faster yet, perhaps 2600 fps. Whether intentionally or not, every pipe is designed for some internal gas temperature--that which existed during the development dyno runs. If in field operation the pipe somehow runs cooler than it did on the dyno or in field testing, the suction and pressure waves in the pipe will arrive at the exhaust port late. If the pipe runs hotter than intended, internal waves will arrive too soon. Either way, the engine will not run the way it should. That being said...I agree that stinger length and diameter are the most effective ways at manipulating this temperature (especially in drag pipes). But the world of in-frame pipes also have another variable (however minor it might be) and that is the silencer packing. Is it cutting hairs....maybe. But true! Really....??? Huh......

It really is a good idea to keep your silencer packing in good working order to maintain peak performace levels. Think of it like this..... All two strokes are extremely dependent on exhaust design. Without a specific amount of backpressure pushing the unburnt fuel back into the cylinder (supercharging effect) the engine will NEVER run as well as it should within a specified operating range. When the engine "comes on the pipe" or "hits the powerband" what do you really think is happening? And when you realize just what is taking place with the above, contemplate what the effects of changing the backpressure are.

Still have this.....adj, strut is no longer available though. Price reduced from $350 to $275 shipped!

I have a +6 standard billet carrier, with new bearings, powder coated. $300 shipped.

Terrorism. Illiteracy. Inexcusable incompetence. Hearing people chew or making that excessive, sloppy, saliva sound when they speak.....WILL YOU PLEASE JUST SWALLOW! People who think their ride is superior based on the manufacturer... Hate to say it people....but I know of many EX`s that will stomp the living dog shit out of many `Shee`s. Don`t get me wrong, it`s good to show loyalty and pride in what you ride.....but there are others who have the same interests/feelings towards their toys. So why knock them? This includes cars. Just because mine was built in `89 (instead of `69), has 4 cylinders, a turbocharger, and makes a "psshhh" sound in between shifts........ doesn`t mean I`m not capable of handing you your ass to the next redlight! People who want something for nothing and act surprised when you say NO!

Dude.....your signature kicks ass!

Yup...2 " narrower. And I used one for the same reason you are thinking of. It will fit in the Banshee carrier, but you need to use a spacer in between the 1st axle nut and sprocket hub. I bucked-up for an aluminum axle, so if you want my Raptor set-up...PM me. See the spacer...

Yea..it is a good deal....and the shipping is cheap too!

Who the F*ck is Nyuk ?

Anyone want to get into this again??!! Never...ever, ever, ever, ever base your octane rating on your cranking compression. I have no choice but to run 114 octane or higher.....and I only have 165 psi.

Nope...stock bore and stroke. On gas - No bottle

I can believe it ! What`s really fun is to watch the expressions on guys faces when my wife stomps the sh*t out of their modded Shees. I`m a diehard Banshee owner guys...but you gotta give props to the DS ! Hey RoostKing.....Wanna drag a DS... AND a girl?! It WON`T be pretty!

If your into drag racing.....You can get your fill at HQ and Here

This is an extended stock piece that has been powder coated. Billet Carrier with relatively new bearings. Adjustable strut. Has a few places in it, but is in good shape. Some bracket tabs have been removed. $350 Shipped.
