Blue Duece Posted April 18, 2004 Report Posted April 18, 2004 ride it once with no silencer or air cleaner if you can, just bang it up the block and back see if it pulls harder or coughs, it would be hard to pull two chokes to see if it picks up or gags I took the silencers and air cleaner off and it still ran good there was just a little less power. Not much but a little less. the reason i asked you to ride it without the air cleaner and stingers was to see if it ran better with no air cleaner,if so, clean and oil your filter and adjust for more air .......on the pipe side if your silencer is creating to much back presure the exaust needs to breath more, hence a pipe that flows better or a largger dia. silencer....maybe Ray can let you demo a used set of those pipes...you like you buy, sorta thing Quote
got1banshee Posted April 18, 2004 Author Report Posted April 18, 2004 Yeah I really think that most of my problem in comming from the reeds and adjusting the carbs. The exhaust I am sure will play a factor also but even with cheap ass exhaust I would expect it to perform better wouldnt you Duece? Quote

These people that are saying that these CPI and Rocket pipes are so good which I am not douting that they are. Its just that I would think that all pipes would work diffrent from every diffrent type of port setup. A pipe that works great on one ported engine might work like crap on another but I dont know I am all new to this. I just think its common sence is all. Quote
Blue Duece Posted April 18, 2004 Report Posted April 18, 2004 well jim has only ever recomnded 1 pipe to me and thats the cpi......i think proquad runs them on his passion stroker hed be a great guy to ask about there lowend.....myself ill sacrifice a little over rev for great low end Quote
BrokeStonedBiker Posted April 18, 2004 Report Posted April 18, 2004 ii skipped a lot of the posts, but i would definatly go with about 13/40 13/39 gearing. thats too much HP for anything more. less teeth on that engine would be much better. its kinda obvous aint it? Quote
got1banshee Posted April 18, 2004 Author Report Posted April 18, 2004 (edited) I have had alot of people tell me to use that low of gearing but people dont understand that you cant use that gearing with this engine unless you love to shift all the time. With 13/40 or 13/41 gearing I could probably start in 3rd or 4th gear with no problem. Edited April 18, 2004 by got1banshee Quote

Trying to help you out but there is alot of difference when it comes to gearing wether you are talking sand, dirt, or pavement. Quote
