barry1me Posted April 4, 2016 Report Posted April 4, 2016 I just dropped my motor off today to a local builder that is a sponsor on here. He said he builds with the Vito Crank that is 4mm with short crank (110) I believe. He rechambers the stock head. He said this is a great running setup. Curious your thorughts on short vs long Vito crank, and this style build. Quote
sheerider11 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Posted April 4, 2016 NO SHORT ROD!! Why won't you ask first shoot later?? Quote
barry1me Posted April 4, 2016 Author Report Posted April 4, 2016 NO SHORT ROD!! Why won't you ask first shoot later?? Didnt know there was such a thing until I dropped it off. It is hard to be an expert on all things banshee. I havent paid anything yet. Builder is Tyson racing. He says that his short rod is a better setup then long rod. Quote
trickedcarbine Posted April 4, 2016 Report Posted April 4, 2016 The newer style vitos seem pretty stout. I'd imagine Brad still feels the short rod stuff revs faster. Quote
sheerider11 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Posted April 4, 2016 My short rod long rod statement is irrelevant honestly. You will get mixed answers. But I'm just pointing out the fact. Ask first for advise. I won't run a short rod again. Been there done that. Won't go back. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk Quote

I'm pretty curious aniut the long vs short rod thing. I fully understand the principle behind it, but I wonder if it make that munch difference in practice. Quote

No. But having to bore my cylinders to get rid of the egg shape wasn't worth it. I had a vitos crank. It was a great looking piece. But I should have gone long rod.

Bennett131 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Posted April 4, 2016 Vitos crank is on par with hot rods imo Quote
barry1me Posted April 4, 2016 Author Report Posted April 4, 2016 So Vito makes a Long rod and short rod 4mm setup? The egg shape wear is concerning to me. I need to look into this more. Quote
bigweav81 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Posted April 4, 2016 Just buy a 4mil 115 rodout of the two brands you mentioned. It's not a big difference in cost. A lot of ppl run the long rod some don't. sent from yo mammy house. Quote
barry1me Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Posted April 5, 2016 What is a better supporting mod for a 4mm build. CPI pipes (over trinity Stage 4) with stock carbs or 35mm carbs with (trinity Stage 4s) Quote
jbooker82 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Posted April 5, 2016 If you cannot feel the difference why wouldn't you go with the one that is in theory easier on parts? It's not like your going to miss something that you can not feel. Quote
bluebanshee98 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Posted April 5, 2016 I think the pipes with stock carbs will be better but IMO you should do both. Dont half ass it Quote
ClaudeMachining Posted April 5, 2016 Report Posted April 5, 2016 Some peeps believe the short rod (weighing less) revs faster than a long rod. Ask your wife, you got a short rod!! lol!! 2 Quote
kennethbrantley5 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Posted April 5, 2016 Myself and at least 4 of my friends are running short rods, we love them. Two of my friends are running long rods . I've rode both its just personal preference. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote
