Power makeover

[sandslinger03]

I am looking to setup my banshee for an all around power feel. I ride open trails some mx tracks and dunes. I currently have dmc 916's k&n pods cool head with 21 cc domes. I was wondering along with porting what should I do. I was thinking of putting some t-5's 28mm carbs v-force 2 and porting. Is there a better combo that would fit my riding better. I am open to suggestions.

I think your on the right track. I'm not sure I would change your pipes but after porting I would go bigger on the carbs, something around a 30mm. Look at lightening the flywheel and advancing your timing as well.

if ya get rid of those 916s get a hold of me if ya want to sell em.send me a pm.i run motofast 2 into 1. it is great for all around low to mid power. kinda smooths out the powerband hit. it is great for trail riding, but if ya want a ton of top end it will not be for you. i ride mostly tight trails and fire roads,and i love the pipe. i also am bored 20 over with a mild mid range port job and a 12 tooth front sprocket.i run namura power pistons goin on 2 years now and they really kick in the mid range. i really recomend getting your compression to around 145 psi. by playing with your cool head domes, it makes a huge difference. i have heard that some guys have been braking v force reeds and sucking them in the engine, but i have not seen that to back that story up. i would check with some people on the reeds and see what they think. i run boyesons and never had a problem with them.

my son ran v-force reeds and they will deffinately go to shit and possibly get sucked in to engine.we caught his in time that they did'nt get sucked into engine but they were about ready to .he switched to v-force 3's and they are a great improvement in design and an improvement in performance.however in my oppinion a set of ported stock cages with boysen reeds in my oppinion perform just as good if not better than v-force for a lot less money.for trail and mx riding i would'nt bother lightening the flywheel.i would advance timing 4 degrees and go with 33pwk's.

Get your cylinders ported, keep the pipes and try them on the motor and see if you like them, reeds, 30mm pwks and bump up the compression.

what type of port would be best. a mild mx port?
