I want opinions on build

[blaster668]

Ok guys, I'm looking into setting my banshee up. I plan on doing quite a bit of flat track racing, typically like 1/2 mile dirt ovals. Some backyard drag racing (want to humiliate all the guys on 450's that keep bragging), and still some trail riding as well (these are typically fast open trails).

 

Of course, I'd like something that is fairly economical.

 

I've been thinking of these options:

 

1. Ported stock cylinders, cool head, and bigger carbs, maybe a 4mm stroker.

Pros: economical, seems to be a good all around combo, while still making plenty of power to smoke the 450's

Cons: May not be enough to dominate at the flat tracks, and I'd really like to totally dominate the 450's

 

2. Cheetah Cub cylinders, cool head, carbs, not sure on bore and stroke yet (opinions wanted)

Pros: Fast, still fairly economical, the strong hit sounds fun as heck

Cons: I keep reading that they are terrible on trails. Do I need to worry about tranny and clutch issues?

 

3. Cheetah PV cylinders, again bore and stroke opinions wanted

Pros: Fast, better for trails

Cons: expensive, maybe not as fun as the cubs because of the more mellow hit

 

Everyone, please give your opinions.

You are thinkin' 4 mill stroker, cheetah cub, or a cheetah PV and you want economy.............. :yelrotflmao:

 

Ya might look at the new four strokes.................

 

Just yankin' your chain man, but it really comes down to what you do the most, and whether you need to put more money into suspension parts for MX, flat track or dragging................

I'm not really too concerned about overall price, I can afford a decent suspension setup as well. What I mean by saying "economical" is that I don't want to just waste money on something that doesn't work. IE: it'd be stupid to spend an extra $1000 or more for a PV setup if it won't give me any benefits.

If I was in your position and wanting to do what you're wanting to do I would go with the P.V setup.More usable power then the cub:IE-braoder powerband then the cub.I have a cub now and I did have a P.V and the P.V. was alot of fun to ride on open trails and dunes with the acasional race.My .02 cents.
