Reed Cage Comparison

[demsy]

has anyone had stock ported cages and switch to v force.. is there any difference. tell what u think!!!

[Phast]

Well the only thing Ive heard and seen is the V-Force and Ported out stockers with TDR reeds are about the same. The ported out stockers with TDR reeds seem to run alittle better on top too. IMO

I hear the V-force are a little better.

I think they were like $80 but you could probably find them for less.

i have the carbon fiber reeds, wil thy work ok on ported cages

[TTBanshee34]

I have v-force and you can adjust the reed for more top or bottom by moving the metal piece on the end I cant remember which way but you can move them. Doesnt feel much different by the seat of your pants but it does show up on dyno.

i was reading some where and a builder tested the vforce over and ported cages

this was a drag motor on alky but i think it was somthing like a 7hp gain with the vforce over the ported with tdr reeds

I've heard of people putting tdr reeds on v-force delta cages Talk about options !!!!

The replacement V-force reeds for mine was $92 and that is with a discount, also don't put the reeds on the "LOW" setting. They will wear out 3 times as fast. I'm speaking from experience here. When bought new I set them at low and lasted one season, after I replaced them I set them at "high" and just replaced them this winter after 3 seasons. Also I would suggest putting some locktite on the small screws that hold the reeds together just to be safe.

Jethro That was Backcountry on a race ported banshee. I guess if you have enough money to trick out a motor then the $230 for v-force reeds isn't going to matter. Porting my reed cages was free, just took time. The TDR reeds were $32. I am not saying the vforce are bad, I just never could justify the cost.

[MULLET~BOY]

i hear ya bro that is alot of money for reeds

 

i think i payed like 65 bucks for both sets of my boyseen reeds how ever you spell that companys name and then another 45 for a set when i was down in the dunes becouse one was sucked into my motor the reeds on the vforce are not much more over priced then most reeds

 

32 bucks for both sets of reeds on the tdr or is that just one set

 

i think the vforce reeds are like 80 bucks for reeds for both cages

does anyone wanna port my reeds???
