05bansheeman Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 how much was shaved? with +4 timing and a cut head, with some pipes, your engine should wake up. i had the machinist take .030" off it just ssems like it gained hardly anything if anythin on the bottom and seems like it lost some on top......what does raing the compression do exactly?? i really need pipes wat do you recomend?

05bansheeman Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 my engine with a trail port, .030" milled head and fmf fatties made some power. i have seens upgraded to a shearer pipe. by raising compression you make the fuel explode more violently, compression raises low rpm power but hinders overrev (higher revs) my fmf fattys are for sale if you want. $300 shipped, not saying they are the best pipe but they are better than stock. ok what kind of shape are they in?? any pics?? post on here or email to gcn1789@yahoo or txt to 724 456 5732 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Best bang for the buck is pipes. Have you checked your plugs since your changes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlsparky7 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 You arent gunna notice much of a change with anything until you get pipes. Pipes are icing on the cake Just not the same without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mopar1rules Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 I noticed my banshee had a top end loss once I advanced the timing +4 deg w/my .030" shaved stock head. When advancing the timing, you raise the running compression inside the engine and combined w/adding more compression from shaved head, the engine reaches peak compression levels too soon, when the piston is on its way up, and the top end over-rev is killed. Take your timing back to stock and try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
