Loosescrewzz Posted March 2, 2017 Report Posted March 2, 2017 Im having a 4 mil crank put in with stock cylinders being port n polished. Currently have stock carbs. How much of a benefit would an upgrade be? Added h.p.? Throttle response? Quote
Ayesully810 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Posted March 2, 2017 Depends on the setup. If your still stock bore with a dune port on a 4 mil with pipes, stock carbs will still do fine on a setup like that, its pretty common for most to run stockers until they get up to a 421 and up wards, Quote
spurdy Posted March 2, 2017 Report Posted March 2, 2017 Bore differences aren't gonna make squat for carbs needed. You're talking about 11 cc difference in displacement per cylinder from a 64 bore to a 66 bore. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
spurdy Posted March 2, 2017 Report Posted March 2, 2017 That being said, I run 35 pwks on a 4m stk cyl with an aggressive dune port with open air intake and shearer pipes. I've also ran a 33 pwk on a 350 with open air intake and PTs. So a smaller carb will work but it does really depend on your set up and riding goals. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
RagunCajun Posted March 2, 2017 Report Posted March 2, 2017 If the person can't give you a good estimate on power, then they probably aren't porting it. They are just boring and honing. If they are porting and can't answer, find another shop. Try a hq supporting vendor. Quote
Loosescrewzz Posted March 2, 2017 Author Report Posted March 2, 2017 Thanks guys, He is a very well established builder and hq sponsor. I just hate to bug him with multiple questions. I seem to always come up with another after we speak. He has been very forthcoming and knowledgeable with all I've asked. Im certain Ill be pleased sent via fuck your mom Quote
RagunCajun Posted March 2, 2017 Report Posted March 2, 2017 If he's doing a job for you and you are paying him, it's his obligation to answer your questions. Otherwise I'd find a new shop. I do give shops a lot of time to answer though 1 Quote
Ayesully810 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) Cody sounds to me like hes just AFRAID that he might bug him (not trying to be rude) that being said, OP, dont be afraid to "bug" your builder... without being stalkerish of course. Edited March 2, 2017 by Ayesully810 Quote
RagunCajun Posted March 2, 2017 Report Posted March 2, 2017 I know. Just letting him know how I do things. Email or leave a voice mail. Give him a week to reply. Also dyno numbers aren't worth much. It's all about power delivery. 1 Quote

Then he can answer any questions you have. It may lead to more sales on his end. Quote

This is the deal, I know in my line of work if i get a customer with consant questions it can get a little obnoxious. Its more curtiousy of his time. Yes Im paying him. From my experience a pain in the ass customer can get a little less quality. I dont think this would be the case with this guy but this is my first transaction and dont want it to start off on a bad note or being "that guy". sent via fuck your mom Quote
spurdy Posted March 2, 2017 Report Posted March 2, 2017 Like the other guys said, don't be afraid to ask questions. Most builders will be happy to make you comfortable. Besides, the more you know and understand and the better equipped you are to deal with your motor and setup, the more likely you will wind up being a return customer.

Ayesully810 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Posted March 2, 2017 ^ This. Also I really think that you should consider finding out where he lives and show up at his house (un-announced of course) and ask him what ever questions you have. 1 Quote
sheerider11 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Posted March 2, 2017 Annoying is if you keep asking of its done yet. But prepping your self for the motor and getting knowledge from them is normal. Obviously try to get it all in at once. But it's part of the business they are in. 1 Quote
bluebanshee98 Posted March 3, 2017 Report Posted March 3, 2017 Don't be scared to call right back after talking to them if a question pops up. You know how many times I've called back right away after getting off the phone because I kept forgetting shit lol. I remember I must of called back like 4x in a row after the 1st call one time. Best thing to do "if you think your bothering them" is to try to right down a list of questions before you call. You'll probably forget something but if you do that's fine just call them right back 2 Quote
