01bansheefox Posted November 16, 2005 Report Posted November 16, 2005 Might go up to Sand Mountain thanks giving and its gonna be my first time on a banshee up there i usually do MX but this guy wants to mess around what do you guys think........ This is his Z400-440 cams, pipe, ign, head work, edelbrok carb,nitrous so he put in the e-mail. He said something about people betting $$$ this is the only reason I am asking other wise I could care less and wouldnt waist your guys time on reading this because these questions get asked everyday! My shee .80 over Mild port/polish "clean up port job?" 35mm carbs Power Pro Exhaust +5 Degrees Milled Head I know tires and everything else make a big difference and I dont have any yet but just from that should I even reply to him?

BigRed350x Posted November 16, 2005 Report Posted November 16, 2005 (edited) If you go to the Pics section, and download the second video from my Walden post, I raced a brand new Artic Cat 400. He had K&N filter, Carb, and a pipe. I have the mods in my sig. I kicked his ass bad. I'm not sure about your guy having nitrous though, that might get you. If you can shift fast and drag a lot and are confident, I say go for it. Get yourself some haulers and maybe a bigger port. Some Reeds wouldnt hurt either. Go for some CPI In Frames. lol Edited November 16, 2005 by BigRed350x Quote
01bansheefox Posted November 16, 2005 Author Report Posted November 16, 2005 (edited) CPI is a drag pipe I dont drag race i usually do trails/MX be kinda pointless to buy new pipes rejet all that other bs just for 1 race. Im not gonna do all that work and $$ lol just for 1 race thats in 2 weeks or so. Edited November 16, 2005 by 01bansheefox Quote
blk02banshee Posted November 16, 2005 Report Posted November 16, 2005 You could beat him depending on rider weight, traction, and rider skills. Is this guy begging you to race him for money? It sounds to me like it's a punk kid with too much money, and the only way to prove he's a man, is to beat you and your banshee. Quote
01bansheefox Posted November 16, 2005 Author Report Posted November 16, 2005 (edited) Actually he is 43 and runs the ATV club i just joined lol. He has already told me other banshees in the club beat him all the time but also said those are the drag banshees that focus just on drag racing. Edited November 16, 2005 by 01bansheefox Quote
blk02banshee Posted November 16, 2005 Report Posted November 16, 2005 hmmm, it seems wierd that he wants to race you so bad. Tell him you'll race just for fun, no money involved. Quote
Motoman991 Posted November 16, 2005 Report Posted November 16, 2005 tell him to let you ride his quad first before you race Quote
rocketboy Posted November 16, 2005 Report Posted November 16, 2005 geez sounds like this guy wants the cock ,dont lose or your probably gonna be sodomized Quote
3ban5shee0 Posted November 16, 2005 Report Posted November 16, 2005 Race him and find out 437836[/snapback] thats what i would do but something doesnt sound right if he raced banshees and they beat him why does he want to race for money id watch him drag someone else first see the way he rides and then go kick his ass Quote
01bansheefox Posted November 17, 2005 Author Report Posted November 17, 2005 Well duh i could race him to find out im not that stupid my point is being because other people claim Z400's are nothing compared to a banshee but he has NOS does it really improve that much? Quote
banshee0044 Posted November 17, 2005 Report Posted November 17, 2005 yes... hard to tell with your mods..reguardless of what everyone on this sight says..those bikes are quick and if set up right can be fast as hell..go race and check back..let us know what happened Quote
Ducman Posted November 17, 2005 Report Posted November 17, 2005 There are some built z-400's like he describes that are typically comparable to a piped YFZ 450, not sure what the N2O might do for it. If your talking sand mountain NV, then you'll want to run a smaller than stock front sprocket (13T) so you can pull a strong 4th or possibly 5th up the drag hill. If your geared too high you'll bog when trying to shift into the next gear. Its not about the fastest acceleration, its who can pull the most gear up the looooong comp hill slope. When I ran there the first time with my 4mm motor I had one guy on a banshee that could beat me due to his setup was perfect for the long drag hill ( he ran a 12T front and could pull 5th gear up the hill, just slightly faster than my 4th which I couldn't pull real strong) l even though I'm sure I was making at least 10-15+ more HP, but my setup was still stock. If I would have had a 13T like I do now for the sand I could have pulled 5th and smoked him. Quote
Justintoxicated Posted November 18, 2005 Report Posted November 18, 2005 Tell him you will race right after you add some NOS And then do it. Quote
Z28ROC Posted November 18, 2005 Report Posted November 18, 2005 Hmmm? Based on the mods listed, and the fact that I have a fast 440 Kawi, and a fast Banshee. I'm thinking he'll beat you with the juice. Your carbs seem too big for your mods. But maybe I'm wrong. Your best bet IMO would be 13/ 41s or 42s pulling 4th gear with 22" 8 paddle buffs. Quote
