Monster_M3 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 In the hands of the very best builders, you could make stockers run that good. But the time and money you had invested in the stockers, the cub would be quicker and more efficient. I can tell you any builder worth their salt is not going to get stock cylinders competitive with a cub for a few hundo...it's going to be expensive. Once you big bore sleeve the stockers (and to go 68mm, you will need to) you cut into the transfer area. That's why you see the bulges on the sides of the cubs, to allow the bigger bore and keep a reasonable transfer area/volume. ok thats done with. so what do u think of a ported 392 cub vs a stock bore 4 mill ported?

projectbanshee Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 badassbanshee and I race at the same tracks and against each other quite often. Friendly rivalry at the track... He's got a 4 mil drag ported by FAST, I have a 10 mil drag ported by HJR. He and I are both 250 lbs plus. He will normally run within a tenth of my time at the strip. His 4 mil is very impressive and rock solid. But he's rode my bike a few times, I think he'd agree, it's easier to go fast on and pulls a big guy a little better than a 4 mil. Figure a 10 mil crank is going to set you back an extra 300 to 500 over a new 4 mil, and case work is 75 to 150 bucks to trench the cases. I think the 4 and 10 mil cub are the best bang for the buck for a drag bike. I think porting by a reputable builder is well worth it, I gained a solid tenth on my bike just from changing porting alone. I ran mine for 2 straight years with only the casting flaws cleaned up by me. This last season I had it ported and it pulled harder up top and averaged a tenth faster in 300 foot at the same tracks I've ridden the previous two years. Porting a cub vs. a set of stockers is no comparison, the cubs are that good out of the box. But...you can still squeeze extra power out of them. It's just not on the same scale as stockers vs. drag ported stockers. What's nice about the cub is you can buy a cylinder (like other aftermarket cylinders as well) that is built/casted for your crank and rod combo instead of a spacer plate, cut domes, etc. damn.. well ima take the 10 mil into consideration then i mean it sounds like it would be worth it for only alittle more change lol thanks for all the help.

sleeper06 Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Bigger isnt always better ,people turn low 10s in the 1/4 with a stock stroke cub on gas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Bigger isnt always better ,people turn low 10s in the 1/4 with a stock stroke cub on gas With a bike setup equally as well a 10 mil would go high 9's. A 10 mil vs. stock stroke is definately worth a couple tenths, especially in a long run like that. Then again, I don't think Tedder has broke 10.00 yet (Damn close) and that man is flying on the pavement...and I think he has a 4 or 7 mil.

SlowerThanYou Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Not to take anything away from Tedder's stock stroke cub, it's on alky. I run low 10's on race gas. As for both Tedder's and my times we don't advertise them anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't offend me at all. We both decided to keep our times between us. We are rebuilding our asphalt quad. I would be more than happy to discuss the old set-up and the changes planned for the new set-up. Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
