My 4 mil cubs ran a best of 4.02 at 77mph at Little Sandy in Ky.this weekend. That was spraying a 20 shot of nitrous. My bike is a rigid drag frame (275lbs.) with a 175 lb. rider. There is so much more in this motor. I am sure with time it will easily run 4.0's on motor and 3.8's or better on the bottle. The ports are untouched on the cubs and they are 68mm bores.

Good news.......we all raced on the old drag strip this weekend! Hopefully it will stay nice and we can continue to race there. I can't beleive how much the water on the old strip went down in one week. I'll bet it is all gone by next weekend.

Ya the forecast could'nt have been more wrong. I am so glad I went. The dunes were quite trecherous, but we just hung out on the strip most of the day.

If you can tune stock carbs you can tune 34's. Pretty much the same deal. I have been running 34 mikuni flats for 3 years. No problems. I like them better than kiehins. But I have been tuning mikunis for 20+ years. So they are what I am comfortable with.

You would be better off investing in a good chassis first! Then spend the money on the motor. Set-up is everything with these bikes.

Well I will answer the same way I answer all gearing questions! When I go to the 300ft. sand drags I take with me 12t-19t front sprockets. I also take 33t-46t rear sprockets. I trial and error until I find what works. Sometimes what works early in the day does not work later on. And rarely is your gearing optimum from track to track. I hope I answered your question. Now would you like to know how many sets of rubber we bring to the track!?

I'm still undecided. If it looks half way ok in the morning, I will probably shoot up to the dunes for a bit.........

Too bad I cannot go. I would'nt be suprised if you see a high 2 second pass. Brock and Goodale are going to be there. They are the fastest of the fast!I have seen Goodale run 3.15, his bike flat out hauls ass!

Ok I found my jetting chart. THIS IS FOR NX.......NOS WILL BE DIFFERENT. Sorry for the yelling, but I want to make sure you know there is a difference! For a 20 hp shot use 18 n2o and 16 gas. For a 30 hp shot use 20 n2o and 18 gas. For a 40 hp shot use 24 n2o and 20 gas. For a 50 hp shot use 26 n2o and 22 gas. This is the info from NX I got with my kit for a 2 cyl. motorcycle. I hope it helps. I have ran all of these combos with no problem on my Banshee. The only thing different I have done from the kit is install a larger fuel pump. I run my fuel pressure at 9 psi. I think the pump they sent me was 5 psi. That is something you may want to think about. As far as compression you will get a lot of different responses but I ran mine at 145 psi. which most people will say is to low for alky....but it seemed to work very well. Any more questions don't hesitate to ask. Give me a heads up on how to post pics and I'll try to put up some pics of my setup.

One other thing to add, I am running alky thru my carbs. I am spraying VP C-12 thru my nitrous nozzles as an enrichener. This has worked best for me.

Good post..........but this is what I would add. In my usage of nitrous this is what I have found. Fuel pressure is of utmost importance. I run a bypass style regulator with the excess dumping back to tank. The importance of this is when you hit the solonoid my pressure drops 1/4 of a pound. With the way NX or NOS send you the kit you are deadheading the fuel at the solonoid, so when you hit the button you fuel pressure drops 2-3 pounds then creeps back up. Do you see the problem? My other advise would be timing. I have found that backing your timing off 1-1.5 degrees per 10hp of shot is best. As far as freezing your reeds the only time I have seen that happen is with V-force or other carbon reeds. I am using TDR reeds and have had no problems! I have my nozzles mounted in my billet intakes(GRR). I have ran several shots of 50 and 60 without a meltdown, so it can be done. Just make sure your bike is running perfect before you even think about hitting the button.

Just back from an awesome day of riding dunes!!!!!!!!! This is what i've been waiting for six months now. The weather was awesome. Pretty much could'nt ask for a better early season ride. The only advise to y'all going this weekend. Be very careful on the backside of all the hills, they drop off very quickly.

The new bike is yellow Ben. Looks like we are only going to be there on Friday. I will be with a Raptor and a YFZ450.

I'll be there Ben.....I just picked up an '03 Suzuki LTZ400 yesterday. It looks like the weather will be ok. But then again that is a whole week away.

RDZ pipes are Shearer pipes!

What do you want for the 14 paddles?

Good luck finding those 55.75mm pistons. That is what it would take to do this project. Of course you could get twister to build you a -11 destroker crank. That would get you where you wanna be! Assuming you stayed at 644mm pistons.

Yep mikuni's rock. Been running my 34TM carbs for 3 years with no probs. Stepping up to 39.5 TMX for this year. Of course I have a lot more motor now.

I'll probably just have my truck Ben. Have not bought a duner bike for this year yet. Hopefully something pops up soon within the confines of my oh so limited budget. I am putting every penny into the drag bike at this point! But I will keep ya posted. Hope to have something by late spring.

When is he going to Philly. I may have to tag along. I would love to run the bike against real competition. Not pipes bikes that think they are dragsters! Guess Andy has to get my motor done soon!!!!!!!!!!!!

No I am Roger from Team GRR. Andy is Alcoholic on all the forums. Y'all can think what you want but I was there. And to answer whoevers question it was I have a set of suicide pipes that look a ton like Rocket pipes. You are all invited to come to my garage and check them out if that will make you happy. They are hanging in the rafters where they will probably be until the end of time!

Just for the record Tom and his bro. did not invent the pipes. I was there for the whole sad saga. I know who invented and did the R&D and countless hours of dyno time to make the pipes what they are today. If not for someone elses money you would not have Rocket pipes today.

Cant' say I did'nt see this one coming. Once a slime always a slime. Sometimes it just takes a while to manifest itself. Rocketman is a thief!!!!!!!!! But I am sure it makes AW pretty satisfied every time y'all rave about his pipes, er I mean Rocket pipes!

Yep April 1.......usually cold and rainy but I wouldnt miss it for the world.

I have three master links in my chain. Been that way for two years now. I have a 85 horse motor plus shoot it with 30-50 horses of laughing gas. So to answer your question yep it will work just fine.
