Porting is going to be the best power increase for the money IMO. I had Wildcard Racing port my dune bike and I love it. One thing to consider before porting, I have heard the T-6's don't respond well to a ported motor. Might be something to looking into, I'm no T-6 expert though. I've always ran CPI. I wouldn't bother with bigger carbs until you do some porting. Also, you can run stock carbs just fine on a ported motor as well. I've seen motors run up to about 65-70HP with stock carbs.

kerv19 Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Posted March 19, 2012 yea i know about the t-6's i jumped the gun and bought them before reading for STOCK engines lol i am trading them in for t-5's Quote
Nightmare Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 the t-5's respond well to porting, shearer, cpi, r-2's even better Quote
Overdose Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 Whats your budget? A cool head with some smaller domes would help give you a little more compression (not sure how far your stock head is milled) I'd look into doing a 4mil with a dune port setup from Kevin at HJR (on the site sponsors list) if ya got the money. But I definately agree with the other guys above port work is where the power is for the money. Good Luck with the build! Quote

My budget is like $1000, i feel dumb but i always see people talkk about 4 mil but i am not very sure wht it is? Quote
ClayAiken Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 My budget is like $1000, i feel dumb but i always see people talkk about 4 mil but i am not very sure wht it is? 4mil is a Aftermarket crank usually made by Hot Rods which is 4 millimeters over the standard stroke. With your budget i would throw a 4mil in there and port it. A 4mil crank will run you around 465 for one. You can call up Jeff from FAST the 4mil page is HERE if your handy you should be able it drop it in yourself if your not confident jeff can do it. I would get a4 mil and port the cylinder. Youll never look back again. Again thats the expensive route the other way to go would be Port the cylinders for your riding style for now and do a 4mil later on. Quote
kerv19 Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Posted March 19, 2012 Who would you reccomend for porting and wht type of port is good for all around?? Play port? Quote
ClayAiken Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 Who would you reccomend for porting and wht type of port is good for all around?? Play port? Where do u ride. If you ride trails youre not going to want a dune port. If you ride dunes your not going to want a trail port. It all depends what you ride. Quote
kerv19 Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Posted March 19, 2012 Where do u ride. If you ride trails youre not going to want a dune port. If you ride dunes your not going to want a trail port. It all depends what you ride. I do alot of riding in both lol thats the tough part Quote
ClayAiken Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 I do alot of riding in both lol thats the tough part Dune/Play would be my best bet. Quote
kerv19 Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Posted March 20, 2012 Dune/Play would be my best bet. Where should i send my cylinders?? FAST? Quote
bluebanshee98 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 Where should i send my cylinders?? FAST? i would go with jeff at fast or kevin at hjr. both awesome guys and they know there shit Quote
LawDog Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 I agree on the 4mil and the port job. Quote
