With that setup I hope you plan on running race fuel. If you run pump gas you're gonna blow it up banghead

 

 

How and why would pump gas blow up an engine with that set-up....? How is race fuel different...?

With +6 timing and 19cc domes you might wanna run higher octane.. Hp depends on porting but with Gnarly pipes and trail port im guessing 55-60hp range.

Who ever did the porting should be the one to ultimately tell you though..

Because with the timing advanced that much and the compression that high, you are going to have pre-ignition and/or detonaton with pump gas. Race gas has higher octane, which will keep this from happening.

 

Pre=ignition and detonation cause all kinds of problemms: spark plug loosening, holes in pistons, collapsed ring lands, damaged crankshaft bearings, blown head gaskets.

really thats it, well that sucks

It also depends on elevation. If you are 5000+ you'll be allright. Awful lot of timing for constant running, might back it off to +4.

:cheers:

 

im around 1400 ft, what will happen if i leave it at that timing

BOOM! ;) Try +4 and with 19cc domes you'll want 110 race gas.

Try looking here. http://bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=130851&st=0

It might answer your question. I'm going to say 60 at best.

wait a minute....your 15....with a banshee that has around 55-60 hp. What do you mean that "sucks?" These bikes come stock with around 35 hp and are still a front runner in the power even on newer quads today. That kind of power is alot more than i would trust most 15 yr olds with....no offense. Want some more proof? a banshee with 55-60hp is making enough power that weighing in at 386lbs (supposed dry weight) equals 1hp per 6.4 lbs....... Where as the 2011 Dodge Ram quad cab 4x4 tips the scales at around 5100lbs. With the V-8 Hemi motor making 380hp that equals 1hp for every 13.4 lbs. Congradulations......somehow you think that having a QUAD with a power ratio two times greater than a big ass strong truck isn't good enough. lol.

 

But if you'd like a different example let me know...ill think of another one.

 

In all seriousness though.....a 55 hp banshee isn't a joke....it's not going to take shit from alot of other quads. It'll be PLENTY fast...
