Building a Shee, need some advice.

Hey guys! I spent the last 45 minutes contemplating advancing my timing (with the search forum box), and searching for a good price on a compression tester. I

Question one:

 

Should I advance my timing +4 or +7 and why or why not? Great outcome?

 

the more the advace the more bottm end your going to have , but only thing with static unlike electronic curves (like a dyna) is its only set for top or bottom the entire ride...

 

get a dyna and your curve will change thoughout the rpm ranges to advance or retard your timing for better all around performance. plus you can get the software and make your own curves, downfall is you should do it on a dyno to get it right so you can see where your faults are in the programming and fix them to gain max hp from it.

 

Question two:

 

Will my octane be high enough to support the advanced timing and 17cc domes?

 

it depends on what your compression is, more then likey you will be ok with +7 but only way to be 100% sure is do a compression test . +4 without a dought youll be fine doing...

 

Question three:

 

Should I get an advanced timing key, or an adjustable timing plate and why?

 

get a plate the keys are prone to shearing off and throwing your crank out of true, also you cant make changes to your timeing without pulling the flywheel and changing your key... the plate can be chaned by lossening 3 screws... if your going to do it . do it right the first time.

 

Question four:

 

Where can I get a compression tester for a good price?

 

i got mine at sears... i want to say it was 60 bucks.. only thing i dont like about it is the threads need to have a hex head so you can screw it in using a wrench... instead you have to use a set of pliers and it gouges the shit out of your tool..

 

Question five:

 

Will I beat 450

Thanks a ton man! I'll just go and get the plate and tool and start from there. Anymore advice would be great!

How do you like those shocks man? What arms are you running?

i got works triple rates... i love them nice and smooth... i got +2 ricky stator arms... they where on the bike when i got them, noyt my first choice but they are quality not reason to change them. im stripping my bike after this season is done any ways to redo it, or actually finish doing it, never completed my first go around at her.

Nice man! I just picked up some Lonestar +2 +1's and dual rate works shocks off a guy on here for super cheap. Can't wait to get them on! Thanks again for the help!
