$250 where should it be spent?

[lastlegwarrior]

i've got $250 and i was wondering where it should be spent, well of course the engine, but on what? And yes i did a search on this topic and most people narrowed it down to reeds or a coolhead/nosshead. I did have a question about the coolhead and nosshead, what is the difference in the two? So what should i spend the money, reeds, coolhead/nosshead?

 

Here's my setup

 

2000 banshee

T-5's

Hot Rods crank and wiesco pistons

clamp-on K&N's

+4 timing

lightened flywheel

and either a 310 or 320 main

 

Riding Style: Just general riding around, tooling around with buddies (they ride a 660 raptor, Z-400, and a KFX 400. I do like wide open top end runs, but i do ride trails any chance i get, just not real tight ones. obviously.

 

Thanks for the replies.

Reeds are a good buy for your dough.

 

As for the heads-there very simmiler, but with a noss head you use your stock head studs, and you can also get it in differant colors.

 

NOSS all the way!!!!!!

LOL..mr to I would go with v-force or get it ported..But I think you would be better off to get the V-forces and get the porting next time around..

You'll get more bang for the buck with porting but if you think you might eventually want a stroker you're better off getting the reeds.

Well i know for sure i don't want to make it a stroker, i shouldn't say don't want to, just can't afford it. But definitely no stroker, unless of course i get a little lonely and no one's around. Kidding, geez. I think i'll do the gorr port, what will i gain and what will i lose? Also if you got a gorr port tell me what you thought of it. Another question, will i be able to run the stock carb setup with this port? I plan on upgrading the carbs (bigger ones, 34's maybe) but that won't be till about april/mayish. How do i get a hold of this guy so i can find out some prices and info? Keep the replies coming, thanks.

the porting is gonna run more than $250 most likely. there's shipping, gaskets, and probably new pistons, a hone job, possible bore.......

 

for a simple bolt on with no headaches or downtime, I'd put the reeds on, or save my money til I had enough for new pistons and such.

 

if you didn't care about the length of down time, you could sell your cylinders and probably pick a set of used ones that have been ported for a very similar price. the cubs have put a pretty large surplus of ported stock cylinders on the market. people that spent a grand on drag porting are selling their cylinders for nothing, because nobody wants them anymore in favor of the cub.

I realize that it will be a lil more than $250 but i shouldn't need a rebuild, about a year ago i rebuilt it with weisco's and a hot rods crank. But in that years time i've ridden the banshee probably twenty five or thirty hours. And yes i realize i will need to get new gaskets but i actually think i might have some laying around. What do you think?

[lastlegwarrior]

also i think my cylinders right now .030 over, if that helps anyone in providing me with some advice.

[sheecandy]

porting is gonna give you the most bang for the buck if you take the cylinders of i would at least hone them and get new rings if $250. is your budget i would get the stock head shaved 30 thou. with the left over $$$ i would get some race fuel you might need it with your +4 timing
