Congrats to you STY, sorry I forgot that! :)

I think that´s not bad time for un-ported cyls. May I ask what gearing you used for 1/4? I assume that those are 20x8-10 AR sd23´s.
And if you used manual clutch and stock tranny, what was the 60´?

You told in other post that not much done to this Banshee. Can you  say something about the motor? I can see filters, an aftermarket head and pipes.

+ tires/wheels and front struts.

 

Do you know what kind of 1/8 time this can do? I´m asking so I can compare it to my own 350 stock frame pump gas Banshee.

Thanks!

 

 

Patsi,

 

We are not trying to go fast with this set-up. It's actually faster than we wanted for our race strategy. The class primarily runs on a .400 pro light & the majority of bikes run 8s - high 9s with a few in the 7s. To sit & wait 4-6 seconds on a pro light is a major pain in the ass.

 

I think the bike ran a high 8.30, but was mainly in the 8.40s. Our track & weather equals a pretty high density altitude. When we go to other tracks with any of our race vehicles we pick up an easy reduction of .3 in ET & 2 -4 mph gain.

The gearing is stock 14/41 & probably needs around a 15/40 to get the best ET/mph for both 1/8 & 1/4 mile.

 

The tires are our 1/8 mile tires for our fast quad. They are 20x10x10 Hoosiers D10 compound their softest. Too much tire for this bike. LOL! We have them pumped up to 25 lbs. to take away bite.

 

The clutch has a few tweaks used for reaction times, but it uses no lock-up. We have to lower the base pressure just a little more to get where I want it.

 

The best 60' this weekend was a 1.80.

 

We expected to do well with the Secret Weapon strategy, but didn't think it was going to work this soon. We still have 12 points races to go & hope my son gets his 1st Championship!
