dalegoldston Posted August 24, 2007 Report Posted August 24, 2007 I received my V force 3's from Jeff and opened the box to check them out and the hole which is round would seem to be restrictive compared to the large opening that is on my stock cages. They are supposed to be better, I guess they are that way for a reason and are really better then stock. Just suprised me on how they looked. Quote
jbooker82 Posted August 24, 2007 Report Posted August 24, 2007 Shouldnt be restrictive. Make sure the intake boot and the hole in the reeds are the same size. Opean one or the other up to make a smooth transition. Cascade sells reed stuffers too. I run them because I have a boss racing intake and it has large square opeaings on the back. Cascade LINK Quote

I run the stuffers...don't know why, just got them. A buddy runs a 14 mil cub on nitrous leaves the stock stuffers in there, and that bike rips. So...unless you're going bigger than that....I'd leave it as is... Quote

Just suprised me on how they looked. , ive had lots of issues with v force , the 2s flow more than the 3s and a set of stock ported cages with power reeds or boysen reeds will flow more and cost less .

Not trying to sound like a dick, but do you have any proof or other? We haven't had a good reed discussion on here in a while...Again, not doubting you, just looking for facts to support that claim, that's all. Quote
Justintoxicated Posted August 24, 2007 Report Posted August 24, 2007 (edited) the v-force reeds have 8 petals stock reeds only have 4 which is one reason why the v-force flow more, and have snappier response. My V-force 2's don't have that hole thing wtf, why not just cut that shit out? Edited August 24, 2007 by Justintoxicated Quote

So...unless you're going bigger than that....I'd leave it as is... yea , i had a set of stock cages ported and carbon power reeds installed and flow bench tested till they flowed more than a v force reeds from 1dir racing ,they will be here first of next week and ill take some photos cost way less than a set of 3s Quote
dajogejr Posted August 24, 2007 Report Posted August 24, 2007 Any way you can back that up with dyno runs then time slips?? Again, not a knock....I think we'd all appreciate saving a few bucks for a worthy setup....that is backed up with numbers... I like my Vforce 3's...but yeah, they're pricey... Quote
dalegoldston Posted August 24, 2007 Author Report Posted August 24, 2007 So the picture on the right has a stuffer in which is what my V force looks like. I can remove that piece to get it to look like the one on the left which is what my current stock cage looks like. So I guess I didnt really look at pictures of the reeds to know they were going to be that different. I received my V force 3's from Jeff and opened the box to check them out and the hole which is round would seem to be restrictive compared to the large opening that is on my stock cages. They are supposed to be better, I guess they are that way for a reason and are really better then stock. Just suprised me on how they looked. Quote
dajogejr Posted August 24, 2007 Report Posted August 24, 2007 No...the pic on the left has a stuffer from Cascade. The shiny, aluminum piece around the outside of the reed opening is actually an insert. http://webforce.nwrain.net/founder/cascade...ORE_DEPT_ID=341 Quote
locogato11283 Posted August 24, 2007 Report Posted August 24, 2007 yea , i had a set of stock cages ported and carbon power reeds installed and flow bench tested till they flowed more than a v force reeds from 1dir racing ,they will be here first of next week and ill take some photos cost way less than a set of 3s sorry but any reeds can be made to run better on differently ported engines. no two engines perform the same. so the only way to really test the validity that a certain reed makes more power is to try them on a bunch of different motors.you show me 10 dyno runs where stockers make more power than v force and ill switch tomorrow. otherwise, ill stick to what most of the big HP motors and drag racers are running. vf2 and vf3 have the reputation of making more power for a reason.

dalegoldston Posted August 24, 2007 Author Report Posted August 24, 2007 Well I will install them as is and will know after a bit of riding if they are better or not. I have ridden this bike as is since 99. Thanks for the inputs. i will post a ride report in a few days. Quote
