POORBOY350 Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Well im no expert but what i found out that u should take is 1. two different types of tires. ( one for dry and rough dirt) ( one for wet and nasty dirt) 2 GAS 3Helmet 4. Tire guage and air tank (a small one) 5 COoler for of goodies. ha ha beer and drag racing dont really mix with me lol. but i mainly wanna know from somebody who's had experience setting up a cub for racing what a ''good'' setup would be or and straight up ''bad ass'' setup. just what works well together.

dajogejr Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 180 lb rider in 300 feet you want to leave in 2nd and cross the traps in 5th with 5th wound out. I understand you don't have the dough for an override....but it's the next mod. A 421 cub with a lockup and no override, you're just begging to get beat on a drag strip by much smaller and slower bikes because of not being able to shift. Been there, done that. PM me when you're ready for an override. Short of finding a used/beat up one, I've got the best prices on a freshly cut dunable override...right up your alley. Depending on paddle, you'll end up with a 16/46 or a 15/42 or 53. I run 16/45 on my 10 mil cub on alky. It's perfect for my rider weight and setup. I got more weight on you, but I got a little more motor too. dragbanshee98...I can understand your reasoning due to class rules, etc. I can promise you in your instance around here, you'd get beat by smaller bikes with less motors that have a full on override. You simply can not shift a bike as fast or efficiently if you don't have an override, I don't care if you cut dogs, get a star, shift pro kit or a yakkey shift drum with roller bearing. It is impossible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajogejr Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 If you can follow a clymers manual, you can put in a transmission. I will buy nothing but the clutch kit from Jeff @ FAST. I've tried others, his works, and has done me well. I'm to a point that some things I will try to improve on, some things just work and why ruin a good thing. I'm a believer in Jeff's clutch, period. It's all I'll run. I'll PM you details on the override. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajogejr Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 When I went to Bobs, and just started racing, my 4 mil cub with suspension (marvins) 6 over arm and 10 paddle haulers, stock tranny, Jeff's clutch.....would go neck and with a ported 350 with a lockup and override. My friend Don H. and I had some great races...we'd always be within a tenth of each other at the end. That little bike still moves for what it is....but that override would've saved me 2 tenths easily.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POORBOY350 Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 so what about timing?(+5 now), octane? (could save money runnning 100oct), what length swing? what tires?(for sand drags) what carbs?(got 35pwk's), my gearin will be 16/40 im 185lb 4mil cub(68mm pro lites)... not sure what radiator but its aftermarket(has inline cooler on it)... thanks. and when you tell me that... how do i keep it together the longest i can? and what kind of hp would i be looking at?(around?)... chassis and suspension will have to wait. frame powder coated metalic black looks to good for me to cut on but it will happen. and i know i need an override but it gotta wait to. thanks. lookin for swinger and paddles now...

POORBOY350 Posted June 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 so would it be worth it to get an override or just do without the lockout? how much would i benefit from getting suspension(marvins)? what would i gain or lose from goin with marvins and all? i mean i have nice suspension on it now...rear elka, from ishocks, + a arms, swingarm + or -2... or what would be the best route to go with it? override, +8(?) swinger, paddles, and marvin suspension? or what? i wanna get it setup where it is puttin down the best power it can..., with out having to just completely change everything. but then again i do want a drag bike that is gonna be some serious competition, so im willing to get the override and shaw suzpensiion and damn drag pipes if i get into enough... i really wanna know what i will gain from all this and is it worth it? pointers are great lol :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
