Hello everyone. This is my first post on this forum. I've been out of the banshee game for the past few years but now i'm looking to get back into it and doing another build. My last banshee was a K&T 10mil cub set up for hill drags. 2-5, alky, out of frame pipes.. all the bells and whistles.
For my next project i'm looking to build a duner based machine. So I'm wanting a stroked serval of some sort. I want a torque monster, an absolute ridiculous over powered hand full of fun=) But I want.. TORQUE and lots of it. So that brings me to the question of what size serval is the best for what I want to do?? I know size isn't everything, its the whole package that makes these machines shine. I'm not looking for a pump gas set up as I know the more aggressive compression will help with my goal for torque and hp. But I also know that adding to much of an aggressive dome and compression can be a bad thing to. I plan on doing inframe sheears or cpi's and size appropriate carbs. All the necessary tranny mods and clutch set up. No corners will be cut. I'm looking for the best all around combo and set up to get the absolute most out of this engine for what it is.. a serval.
4mil super serval = 472cc
10mil serval = 465cc
10 mil super serval 521cc
Now with the "super" cub on a 10mil (72 X 64) I remember talking to Kim from K&T about the added advantage of these over the normal 68mm set up. He said that the intake track was undersized for the displacement and not much of a difference was noticed. And the same could be said about the 14mil cub (68 X 68) But that was also on a cub build set up for drag racing. Is there a "worth it advantage" to doing a 521 serval over the smaller displacement options i'm considering? Since its not an all out drag racing set up and more an all around play machine i'm hoping bigger is better=)
