gwinnraptor Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 I have a couple hundred bucks to spend on the quad right now. Im wondering what everybody thinks would be my best move. I have a stock motor setup w/ pro design intake & pro circuit exhaust. I do mostly trail riding, fire roads, and sand pits. I want to get a cool head w/ 21 cc domes but was wondering if this setup will show me bigger gains than putting in different reeds like the VF3/ VF4 setup? Might be a dumb question but im new to the banshee scene and couldnt find how much hp gains each made and if its that noticeable. What does everyone think?

Dahl87banshee Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Call up a site sponsor and get your cylinders ported. Biggest gain you can get for your money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Advance your timing by 4 degrees, can be done for free or a little fee if you just wanna buy an adjustable timing plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 weld crank and port it! then to timing mod or buy a plate only 45 bucks at fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lms1977 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 I would do the head first if it were me then I would port it and weld crank then do reeds , That would be the order I would do it, look in the for sale section buy used if you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwinnraptor Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 weld crank and port it! then to timing mod or buy a plate only 45 bucks at fast I guess my thoughts are; if im going into the bottom end it seems smarter to me to do a 4 mil setup than to weld the stocker. I guess maybe i should just save some more and get the 4mil crank and do a stock cyl 4mil setup. Just seems like i hear alot of people that just piss away money beating around the bush and then end up with a 4mil setup anyways. Could i run a 4mil crank, stock ported cylinders, and stock carbs?

Nightmare Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 That would suck without at least a port job. There's a shit load of stock carb 4mils that rip good. Sent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATVridinMaNiAc Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I think it would rip pretty good still even if you ported your stock jugs for the 4mil and you would also need a new stroker head for the 4mil anyways so then just use some 21cc domes. Later on you could get bigger carbs, reeds, +4 timing and stuff and it would wake that 4 mil up real good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You buy pieces and parts, then one day you decide to do a full motor build and you find out 1/2 the pieces you bought don't fit the new puzzle. I'd say save now and buy a whole motor combo rather than blindly slapping pieces together. Besides....how many times do you really want to work at re-jetting new combos? Save your cash and go big a little later. Focus on safety for now. Get ready for more power. Upgrade to better shocks, fresh chain and go through the brakes so your ready to handle the additional HP.
