csrmel Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 i know i dont have much done to my shee for 1/8 mile hardpack sand dragging (as you can see from my signature) however i can swap back to a 14t front sprocket if you guys think it would improve my chances. im up against a friend of mine with a suzuki lt500. i do know that for aftermarket mods he has a pipe, pod filters, crappy homemade porting of the cylinder, and probably equally crappy jetting. he also has an aftermarket high compression head. the rest is stock. so if you had to bet, who would win?

I would not change the sprocket youll proably be better of with the 15,but by judging from your mods as much as i hate to say it my money would proably go on the zilla.Ive never raced one but I rode one along time ago and it may have been my imagination but that sob seemed fast and it was pretty stk i think.But goodluck and let us know how you do.

bansheeseat$$ Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 I'm going to agree with RLIS on this one they run very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
race-a-holic Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 My brother as well as some of our friends has them.You'll probably lose. If his' porting and jetting is right,he'll probably beat ya pretty bad. I use to always get smoked by them.That has now changed.They won't even hardly race me any more.LOL! Get a good port job,and you'll more than likely be the one doing the smoking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansheeman1121 Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 As of now hes got the advantage with proting but maybe if you throw some reeds and a coolhead with smaller domes on ur shee and i dont no how healthy that hush kit is for it but should get him then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah,reeds might gain you a hp or 2.Head won't make a huge difference.Now a combination of these and a good port job will do wonders.

csrmel Posted July 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 we ran 3 times back to back and i beat him 2 out of the 3 times. his lt500 has a crappy homemade port job. i found out he ported it with a dremel and various hand files. if i had to guess id say the shitty porting on his quad is what led me to victory. i think he handicapped himself.

BANSHEEMANIA Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 His zilla must suck ass!! My buddy has one with a shaved head, do it yourself porting, and an LRD pipe. My banshee has a mild port job, t-5 pipes, trinity coolhead with 20cc domes etc. That zilla runs VERY, VERY strong. I have beaten him and he has beaten me. As much as I hate to say it, I think with a perfect race from both of us the zilla would win every time. I consider myself lucky when I win. Honestly we've only ran them about 6 times and we split them. If he gets that thing running right you're going to need alot more than reeds and domes. For your sake I hope he doesn't get it fixed. You can beat him, but breakout the tools and your credit card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csrmel Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 i dont doubt that a proper lt500 would hand me my pants. but this thing was a hack job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csrmel Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 thanks! but i dont really consider it a real victory. this lt500 was a hack job. if this guy had gotten his cyl ported by a pro i wouldnt be on here posting about victory.

race-a-holic Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 A win is a win. It's good though that you realize the truth. There is some fast quadzillas out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hittintrees srh Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Yep, those zillaz are usually a hand full even for a well built shee- a friend of mine has a zilla with a pipe and filter. thats it.....And damn that sucker can make some power!!!!!!!!! I take him about 95% of the time. But for the mods he has and the mods i have, thats pretty damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
