Pasi S. Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Congrats to you STY, sorry I forgot that! I think that´s not bad time for un-ported cyls. May I ask what gearing you used for 1/4? I assume that those are 20x8-10 AR sd23´s.And if you used manual clutch and stock tranny, what was the 60´?

SlowerThanYou Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 You told in other post that not much done to this Banshee. Can you say something about the motor? I can see filters, an aftermarket head and pipes. + tires/wheels and front struts. Do you know what kind of 1/8 time this can do? I´m asking so I can compare it to my own 350 stock frame pump gas Banshee. Thanks! Patsi, We are not trying to go fast with this set-up. It's actually faster than we wanted for our race strategy. The class primarily runs on a .400 pro light & the majority of bikes run 8s - high 9s with a few in the 7s. To sit & wait 4-6 seconds on a pro light is a major pain in the ass. I think the bike ran a high 8.30, but was mainly in the 8.40s. Our track & weather equals a pretty high density altitude. When we go to other tracks with any of our race vehicles we pick up an easy reduction of .3 in ET & 2 -4 mph gain. Congrats to you STY, sorry I forgot that! I think that´s not bad time for un-ported cyls. May I ask what gearing you used for 1/4? I assume that those are 20x8-10 AR sd23´s. And if you used manual clutch and stock tranny, what was the 60´? The gearing is stock 14/41 & probably needs around a 15/40 to get the best ET/mph for both 1/8 & 1/4 mile. The tires are our 1/8 mile tires for our fast quad. They are 20x10x10 Hoosiers D10 compound their softest. Too much tire for this bike. LOL! We have them pumped up to 25 lbs. to take away bite. The clutch has a few tweaks used for reaction times, but it uses no lock-up. We have to lower the base pressure just a little more to get where I want it. The best 60' this weekend was a 1.80. We expected to do well with the Secret Weapon strategy, but didn't think it was going to work this soon. We still have 12 points races to go & hope my son gets his 1st Championship!

Pasi S. Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Ok, thanks for the info. I´m just looking something to compare. My 60´s are 1.7-2.0 using my left hand . 16-42 for 1/8 and I think I should try 17-42 for 1/4 next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowerThanYou Posted March 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Taking the Secret Weapon & Camaro out for testing today. The second points race is tomorrow. We only made a small adjustment on the SW clutch base pressure. Hoping my son will do well tomorrow. I'll let you all know good or bad.

SlowerThanYou Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 How did dad and the camero do? Having some teething issues with new suspension. Out in the 1st round again, hopefully get it figured out soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowerThanYou Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Even though we are trying not to go fast. We went 13.64 today @ 88 mph, it's the best ET so far without trying. We only made one change; lowered the base pressure a little. It went faster, but we gave up some reaction time. We will set-up the clutch like the 1st race.

SlowerThanYou Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 88mph!...nice one doc We are really surprised with the mph with the stock gearing. All we have done with this set-up is tune it to stay alive in the 1/4 mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
