bansheejoel Posted February 5, 2008 Report Posted February 5, 2008 i was wondering the same thing there products look amazing i was going to buy there timing plate and coolhead Quote
shovelhead Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Posted February 5, 2008 I just saw that Cool Head too! Damn nice looking & the price is right on that too. Surely someone was a sucker & bought them...Talk to us... Quote
BansheeKid15 Posted February 6, 2008 Report Posted February 6, 2008 Honestly i dont see the point in a billit advance plate. Its behind the stator cover... spend the money else where Quote
zach45 Posted February 6, 2008 Report Posted February 6, 2008 my friend just bought there cool head and we instaled it last week... its nicely made... but i rather a noss head... it only has like 3 o rings... for money i rather a noss head Quote
dajogejr Posted February 6, 2008 Report Posted February 6, 2008 35 plus shipping for a cast timing plate from RS or ebay, spend the 10 or 15 you'll save on a magnetic drain plug or a few quarts of two stroke oil...it'd be money better spent! I looked at their head, and to be honest...it's pretty much what I'm looking to maybe get. 6 orings instead of the 15 or 18 in a regular two piece head....hmm.... And they're in MI.... Quote

Have you seen the flow pattern of the head? Was wondering if it is an improvement over the PD or Noss head. Looks kick ass but haven't heard anything about quality and functionality. Let me know if you get one. Would love to get rid of the PD head. It takes the same domes if I remember right. SP Quote

SP Not too worried about the flow pattern, rather the easy sealing and less O rings to worry about... I run drag races with methanol, cooling isn't a problem for me, keeping it sealed easily is...and more people cut domes than they do stock heads. Quote
zach45 Posted February 6, 2008 Report Posted February 6, 2008 cant really see the flow becasue its a 1 peice model.. i would go with noss.. Quote

jayzx10r Posted February 6, 2008 Report Posted February 6, 2008 Nice looking head...I wonder what the liquid capacity is? It looks like a bit more than stock, but a lot less than Noss or PD. May not be an issue though...time will tell. If good feedback comes from it, I'll have one!! I like the minimalist look and the 1/3 amount of o rings. Not to hijack, ...here is the but... but since both PD and Noss use the same o ring design, is one manufacturer have better replacement o rings? I'm still liking that triple chromed head!! I wonder what I can get for my PD?? Quote
jbooker82 Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 The thing I like about the PD and Noss head is you can unbolt the rear hose fitting from the head. Fighting to get that rear hose on and sliding the head down while keeping the orings in place is a pain. When ever I take my PD head off I just un do the 2 allen head bolts and leave the rear elbow fitting in the hose. That Charriot Head looks like the elbow thread in to the head, instead of bolting on and sealing with an oring. Quote

So far i have been very pleased in the throttle responce and mid range power. My motor seems to be running alot cooler also. And the rear hose was no problem. If you use some petrolem jelly on the rubber orings they will stay in place while you install the head. Quote

Chariot performance Billet Timing plate...$49 ..great price for billet made in USA ( If it is any good & works? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Banshee-606...sspagenameZWDVW I bought the chariot performance timing plate, and it is nice, looks great and does what it is supposed to, :thumbsup: goes up to plus 10 I believe.

dajogejr Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 Just got my head on Friday... It is NICE!! Much fewer Orings (7 total)...very easy to work with. Quote
