Pritchard Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Current mods on a 03 Banshee; 40mm radiator with billet impeller. +4 Timing, vforce4 reeds, running on 93oct with 20:1klotz. Stock carbs with 290jets and pod filters. Stock pistons, crank & trans. Wanting to install the 392 Athena kit; jugs, pistons, head, ect. What carb setup will give me the most power with the 392 kit with pod filters? What else can I do to make more power besides going to alcy or a cub engine? Thanks in advance guys for your time and input. I respect what you have to say so lets do it to others. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprinklerman Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 You'd be better off getting the stock jugs ported by a reputable shop. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phelps Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 what he said ^ from what i have been told is the athenna's come with lower port timings than stock cylinders and need to be ported to even work right. 392 stock cylinder will cost you less if you have good cylinders. to answer your carb question. 28pwk's are perfect for all around, or 33pwk's if you will be dune/dragging the bike.

Deadbeat Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 how much is the Athena kit $ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Rdz (crook) builds his elimimator kit from Athenas. Fuckers will rip when done right but for the money you can have a killer cub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyzstang Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Have to agree with the other guys. Don't waist your money on Athena. Are your stock cylinders in good shape. What bore are they on? If they're still fresh simply send them to a site sponsor for port work. Or start looking for a virgin set, scoop them up and send those out.

Pritchard Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Thanks guys, I have priced out the Athena kits for around 700. My jugs are cherry and the pistons are 64.00. I need more power on the ice. I figured with the athena kit i could go big jug and big piston. I have heard the athena jugs are already ported thats what makes them special. I could send out my stock for bore and port and polish and then get big pistons and a cool head but that may be more than 700 so still throwing out ideas.

Call Redline racing,talk to Cam. He can get your stock cyls to out preform an Athena kit any day of the week. Follow his advise for supporting mods and you'll be happy.

troyzstang Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Sprinkles is right. Call Cam. Problem solved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
registered user Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 throwing big pistons in your current cyls would be a foolish mistake never seen the athenas first hand but they must be some sorry ass cylinders if the stockers run better. considering the stockers aint nothin to write home about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprinklerman Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 A well ported stock cyl can make 100hp on alky. Screw Athenas with their thin plating and poor head design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhoksch Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Are you actually ice racing or just playing around? My first ice motor was a 370 long rod from Redline. That thing was amazing and I don't think it was super expensive. You should give Cam a call and see what he can do on the budget you have in mind.
