80overShee Posted May 2, 2006 Report Posted May 2, 2006 (edited) Ok, I have been having this arguement with a friend of mine about a friends Banshee. The guy wants to throw a Cheetah Cub on his Banshee and leave it at that. Now he hasn't specified anything other than that so I assume stock porting on the cheapest style Cheetah there is. I dont know a whole lot about what is available so I am gonna play ignorant on that one. Anyway, I've read about what almost everyone on here does with Cubs and it seems that aftermarket carbs are a must. He says that stock carbs will work just fine, they provide plenty of air/fuel to supply the cubs. Now I, whole-heartedly, disagree. The stock carbs hardly supply enough to a slightly modified engine, how will they be sufficient for a cub cylinder?! Can someone straighten me out here. I am telling him 33PWKs are probably the choice on this one. ??? He says stock carbs are fine, maybe just bore them to a 28....I doubt it. His mods are - Coolhead 20cc domes, FMF Fatties, +4 timing, clamp on filters, .060 bore (like that matters now), stock porting I also told him those FMF's are gonna have to go Oh, his main type of riding is 300' drags. He rides all types but he lives for the drags. Edited May 2, 2006 by 80overShee Quote
biggun6ss Posted May 2, 2006 Report Posted May 2, 2006 You can run the cubs with stock carbs, you just wont get near the power you would if you had some 35 pwk's. The FMF pipes will work also but you will do way better with some pipes like shearer. If he wants to keep the stock carbs, save up your money, buy some cubs, and put the right stuff on and smoke him and see what he says then. Quote
80overShee Posted May 2, 2006 Author Report Posted May 2, 2006 How would a set of dune ported jugs hold up against a standard port cub cylinder. I'd rather smoke him with what I've got than to come to his level so he can say "well you have this amount of $ in yours, I don't". I'd LOVE cubs but I can't drop that much money on them. I listed his mods, I have mine listed in the bottom. Could I spank him or atleast hold with him if I got a good dune port (possibly Passion), some larger carbs, bumped the compression and some Vforce reeds? I realize all that together is more than the cubs.......but hey, I have a hard time dropping that kind of money on ONE item that I know I will dump more into porting and those aftermarket parts. I know if i bought cubs I would without a doubt get a +4 stroker. So its not economical to me yet. Quote
biggun6ss Posted May 2, 2006 Report Posted May 2, 2006 You can get a good port job and hang with him if he is using stock carbs and fmf pipes. The cubs produce a lot of power but so can some stock ported cylinders. With the right port job, carbs, pipes, you could beat him. Quote
80overShee Posted May 2, 2006 Author Report Posted May 2, 2006 Now THAT would be awesome. Ok, my mind is made up Quote
