What carb, and Jetting

[harley_sr]

Ok here is a list of my mods.

 

Noss Head

21cc Domes

V-Force 2 reeds

Clamp on K&N No air box...

New Pistons

Toomey t-5's or Rocket inframes Tommeys are on right now.

I am looking into some carbs, 28mm or 30mm? D-Slide or Flat Slide?

Fill me in on that the better pipes are and whats the best carb.

 

Also when I get my carbs what jetting should I be looking at?

Power wise, the stock carbs will give you the best overall performance without any porting. I wouldn't worry about a different carb setup until you get portwork done altogether, unless your wanting something like a single carb setup for more low and mid power.

 

If you search for dyno sheets, Banchetta once had some dyno sheets to prove this. There are also some dyno sheets that show 33's are best with portwork, so don't get confused as to which sheet your looking at.

well my stock carbs are JUNK... The float sticks, and they leak gas all the time. They have been gone thu many times. I just bought the banshee so I thought that I would just get a little bigger carb. I was looking in some D-slide 28mm. Should I just get a set of newer stock ones?

The D slide 28s are nice. You can pick up another set of stockers for a third or less than the price of the 28s and the performance on the 28's won't be much better. I'm not trying to talk you out of it. Common thought is bigger is better, but really, you need just the right size to match the airflow of your motor, too big and airflow slows down and perf. loss, too small and you lose volume and therefore perf. loss.

 

Banchetta did a lot of testing on this not too long ago and he concluded that the stock size matched a non ported motor really well. I agree that the stockers can be a pita (that's why i run a single carb) but if we're talking performance, then that's the answer.

 

If you want to go ahead and make a purchase to last you through more mods later, like porting and such, the 28's would be definitely be a good purchase and you could bore them to a 30 later on if you wanted them a little bigger.

 

If it was me, I'd probably go ahead and get 28s cause I hate to buy something and then have to rebuy it later, and i hate the stock carbs.

 

let us know how you end up.
