450Beater Posted August 6, 2009 Report Posted August 6, 2009 Ive been wanting to get more power out of my shed and was wondering if it is better to get a 400 big bore kit or to get my stock cylinders ported. Which makes more hp? Which is more reliable? Would I need bgger carbs or a cool head? Would I have to run race gas? These are all things I would Like to know thanks Quote
FASTOYS Posted August 6, 2009 Report Posted August 6, 2009 You can do a strong Play/dune port on stock cyls. and have a great running bike with stock carbs on pump gas for much less $ and be very reliable!! Cool head will help but you can run stock head cut if on a budget Quote
dajogejr Posted August 6, 2009 Report Posted August 6, 2009 He wants to make his shed faster Jeff...what do you guys do to port and polish a shed? Porting BY FAR over a big bore kit. Quote
FASTOYS Posted August 6, 2009 Report Posted August 6, 2009 Oh sorry, yeah, um , Treated wood with slickum! Quote
00tbanshee Posted August 6, 2009 Report Posted August 6, 2009 putting a set of big bore sleeve's in is just a big waste of money.imo Quote
slopoke Posted August 7, 2009 Report Posted August 7, 2009 X's 2 on port over big bore. I have outran many bigbores with my little ole stock stroke stock bore and a full drag port. I would invest in a good port job. I would have NEVER waited so long to get a port job if I knew how much difference it made. Quote
Washburn Posted August 7, 2009 Report Posted August 7, 2009 Porting without a question is your best bet for much more power and reliability. A coolHead is worth the investment too, so is a billit timing Plate and a set of aftermarket reeds. Youde be realy suprised at how much diffrence a +4 degree advance gives you and its still very reliable and the reeds really spped up acceleration and adds a boost thoughout the powerband. Its all about the $$$ though. I put on all of the bolton power mods and Im pretty damn happy with the power I have. no port job yet. Quote
INFINITIED Posted August 7, 2009 Report Posted August 7, 2009 i also agree , port ! good tune ! good pipes milled head! great reliable bike , pump gas ! Quote
tundish2800 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Posted August 7, 2009 port job will give the most reward for the little bit of money spent. Quote
TeamRealtreeHD Posted August 8, 2009 Report Posted August 8, 2009 Bnahsee cylinders are severely restricted with castingflaws, sairflow, etc. Open that sonna bitch up by a good porter (HJR, FAST, WIldcard, etc.) and you got a force to reckon with. Big bore kits put a dent in your wallet with not much gain... Quote
pittsburghbanshee Posted August 9, 2009 Report Posted August 9, 2009 what about a ported cub is that worth somethin Quote
