Monster_M3 Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 it depends on the race? the shee has way more up top but how far is the race? 300ft? 1/8 mile? 1/4 mile? i know that my bike in the 1/8 mile my YFZ takes the shee's off the line but they catch me up top. mod for mod i think thats pritty much always the sinario till you go big drag build then the shee just starts embarasing the YFZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster_M3 Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 the race will be your standard 300 ft race,will the banshee im looking at beat the other shee that my buddy has? thanks IDK 4 mills are QUICK!! i dont see the bike ur looking at beating the 4mill unless u throw cubs or a 4mill . and those holeshots are gona slow u down! the reason the YFZ is winning those 300ft is the torque a little longer race and the shee would track him down for sure!! my YFZ ported head, Intake, exhaust, and exhaust cam is Fast out the hole but the shee catches up quick and passes me... the beauty of down south is that NO ONE says what they have so i really couldnt tell you what that YFZ should do... hope this helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 yo man, welcome to HQ banshees will always be king of the drag races. a lot of it depends on traction. if the banshee can get out of the hole quickly, the 450 stands no chance.. if the banshee spins and the 450 is gone, in 300' the 450 will probably take it.

Bansh-eman Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Unless the guy took the compression 5000 ft below sea level it probly isnt 200 psi, but either way a stock crank can handle it, you just need to get the thing trued and welded.

jlevasseur Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 it all depends on what you mainly want to do with your new bike. For little money and some time you can wake up an banshee and be right next to or infront of your buddy. Do you know what kind of porting is done to the bike? depends on what you want to spend but I have two 4 mills and they are the best bang for the buck and then when you stick a cub top end on them there are pretty impressive, after that you really got to spend some bucks to really get more power. If you just drag race mainly I would think about an override either race or dunable while you got it apart. Maybe even OOF frames or alky.
