bbcmudtruck Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 If you ride with the possibility of mud and water, don't run pods. I switched from a K&N with the box and no lid to K&N pods with outerwears and I didn't notice any difference at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheefreak Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Timing, compression and porting is where it's at. If you do too much of either of the first two, you will run into different fuel requirements. Porting hands down is where all the power is in these two strokes. Only problem is when you start making more than "bolt on" power, more and more issues need to be addressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont want something i have to wrench on all the time but i do want to improve performance . I just need enough power to be faster than a piped renegade 800 or a piped raptor 700 . If i can get that then i will happy with things .I dont mind running race gas either . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deckheight Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 You have had some pretty good advise so far. The reason I said try domes first is that your already set-up w/a head shell and it will give you a pretty decent H/P increase... After which, you will probably be wondering how you can better transfer the added H/P to the ground. Once you figure that out, the porting will add about what the compression did as far as performance. And then you will probably be looking at carbs... On and on it goes... :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPEN Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 One more plus for F.A.S.T. is he carries tons of parts.. Makes it handy to have a parts supplier and builder all rolled into one. Click on his link and you can see what all he offers! Otherwise, bump up the compression, timing and some porting and you will have a damn well rounded machine!
