TexasBansheeMan Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 So what makes a DM a DM whats diff over a cheeta or a cub? Could some one please explain this to me. Pics help alot too. Thanks. :geek: Quote
shanYE west Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 Bigger bore, intakes and trasnfers. They need ALOT more case work over a cheetah to fit the 78mm bore pistons. They use the CR500 style intakes as compared to the CR250's all though some of the smaller mil DM's still use the CR250 style with intake adapters. A cub uses all stock componets. Stock head, Reeds, pipes.. None of these will fit on a DM or cheetah hence the term Cheetah cub. The Cheetah use bigger reeds/intakes, different head and bigger flange on the exhaust. and the bore goes up to 73mm compared to the 68mm. Although I think I have heard of some 74mm cheetahs out there. In short.. The Cheetah DM (Dominate Male) goes even further then the cheetah with a 78mm bore, bigger reeds/intakes, and bigger exhaust flanges if the builder prefers as the exhaust flanges are removeable. Then you have the Cheetah DMX wich is a 85mm bore. Quote

shanYE west Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 have been told by some people that there isn't much gain from the dm to the dmx,and not worth the extra cash.. At this point for the most part.. I will agree. BUT.... at this stage of development its about the same as what the DM was over the cheetah. there IS more power to be made. The builders are just now starting to really find it. By this time next year the DMX will be a powerhouse. I know of a 18DMX that is just flat out nasty!!! Quote
tony cub Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 was thinking of building a 20mill dm this summer,but going in a diffrent direction.will post up some pics when done..(wondering minds on here want to know).. :biggrin: Quote
docjcwatson Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 DM equals badass! Haha. Shayne is correct. I have a 74.5 bore Cheetah. Quote
grizzly700 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 any guesses on peak hp of a DMX motor? i just want to know how pussy my banshee really is. lol Quote
okbeast Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 any guesses on peak hp of a DMX motor? i just want to know how pussy my banshee really is. lol I think Nate McCoy has had one up to at least 130hp, I wanna say more though. Quote
locogato11283 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 i just got me a little ol 10mm cub motor.. Quote
sheefreak Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 I think Nate McCoy has had one up to at least 130hp, I wanna say more though. A 4mill DM is real close to that number....Big DMX.... a lot more! Quote
dajogejr Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 Dynos are good for comparing mods....the track is where it's at. Quote

dajogejr Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 like you would know. youre just an internet keyboard racer.. drag racing is weak anyway!! Hey...I'm not the one that needs to race on a hill to "get it up".... :biggrin: Quote
okbeast Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 A 4mill DM is real close to that number....Big DMX.... a lot more! Ok maybe the DMX was closer to 150hp. I didn't wanna shoot too high, don't wanna be that guy runnin his mouth about a dyno lol Quote
