Hunt4BigGame Posted April 28, 2005 Report Posted April 28, 2005 A group of us went riding at the St Anthony dunes last Saturday. A friend of mine who rides a YfZ 450 has been trying everything he can think of to beat my friends '98 Shee and my '04 Shee. Pro-flow intake, Dr. D pipe, changed the timing I believe, gearing and who knows what else. When he would race my piped Shee, it would be a pretty close race....well, then he decided to go with nitrous and I decided to go with the Trinity Pro TT porting and a single carb. The guy he bought the nitrous from, "guaranteed" him "...it will beat any banshee..." Wrong! We raced up a sandy hill, approximately 1/8th mile, good enough for me to get it wound up in fourth gear. I whooped him off the line and was a good 2 to 3 lengths ahead of him at the top of the hill! I have to admit that watching him climb Choke Cherry, that the nos gave him a pretty good bump up in speed compared to running without it. When he hits the button, it makes a little pop out the exhaust, and it screams (not like a Shee though). Pretty cool setup! Quote
nosbanshee4u Posted April 30, 2005 Report Posted April 30, 2005 sounds like he may be experiencing some predetonation. You might need to check out the timing or comression or fuel octane. or all 3. Is it the boondockers kit or a wet kit?? Quote
Hunt4BigGame Posted April 30, 2005 Author Report Posted April 30, 2005 It's a Boondocker system. He is running 100 octane. It runs really good, just not as good as a modded shee.... He has a pretty good hit when he's on the bottle.... He is changing from a 15 horse nozzle to a 20 horse... Quote
IDAHOSHEE Posted May 3, 2005 Report Posted May 3, 2005 Hey hunt4biggame, I have spoke with all the yfz boys since our return from St. A. they are all still feeling a little butt hurt about being beaten by 2 shee's. I told them if the realy wanted to increase their speed their next mod should be an upgrade to a shee. Quote

I'm sure one of these days the shee's will have to take a back seat to the thumpers. Gotta remember we're riding '80's technology. Naw, I take that back! The Shee's will never take a back seat to the thumpers! It's gonna have to be something NUKE powered to whoop a well built Shee! Quote
