SteelerBob Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Hmm What next? I bought my girl with a lot work done already to the motor and I worked over the exterior and brought her back up to snuff mechanically and maintenance wise, added suspension as well. Mods in my sig. I am looking to see if there is anything else I can do to her performance wise without getting into the big buck items. They will have to wait a year or two if I go there at all. Thinking about trading my pipes for something more mid to high end centric as the Gnarly's are great on the bottom end but I find myself topping out on the revs but other than that, I am stumped. Can't think of anything else besides cheetah /cub cylinders or crank work. I ride a pretty even mix of trails, dunes and flat track style (not actual racing) Suggestions?

AKheathen Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 low ticket power- change out the domes, and run 50/50 or race fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003LimitedBanshee Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 low ticket power- change out the domes, and run 50/50 or race fuel I would second that thought. Possibly consider the change in domes to compensate for "upgrading" to a more mid-high focused pipe as you pointed out. This would help you reclaim some of the bottom end loss from ditching the gnarly's. I run T5's on a stock port (currently, but cylinders are almost done) with 20cc domes which I think gives me a pretty strong bottom end from the domes and subsequent compression, but still wants to scream on the top. I'm sure won't make quite the bottom end of the gnarly's still, but would compensate nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelerBob Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I will have to look into that. Not sure where to get race gas around Tulsa though. Hard enough to find any super unleaded above 91. Shouldn't be hard to figure out. Been looking into pipes and thinking PT Mids or FMF Gold Series Fatty's, T5's or Pro Circuits. Don't want to give up too much bottom end or I think I would be looking PT High Rev's. Oh well gives me something more to research. Maybe just buy a used set of shearer's for the trips to the dunes and keep my Gnarly's for the trail. Not that hard to change out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
