Alright I just bought another 'shee yesterday. It's a 2001 and all stock except for works shocks up front, and I think a rebuilt 400ex shock in the back but I'm unsure exactly what it is. It only has about 10hrs or less on a new top end so i want to leave that alone for now at least. I ride in a lot of fields, open trails, and drag. Also plan on duning some this summer at Silver Lake. My last Banshee was a '97 with just pipes so this time I am planning on building it considerably beefier.
Bottom Line: I want to put around $1000-$1500 into motor/"go" mods. What should I do to get the most bang for my buck. I want reliability, strength, and to be able to blow my buddies 450r away with no effort. Also want to run it on ~93 octane.
