Solarmat72 Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Hey everyone,How hot should the banshee pipes be getting? Current jets 152 main, 48 pilot, needle in the middle. Air screws about half a turn out from closed. Just did some pulls today on my street about 1-4 gear nothing crazy. The pipes “headers” are not blue or anything crazy just definitely hot, can put my hand on them for about second if that before it will burn. There is good amount “normal” smoke amount from each pipes when giving it some. Does not have high idle, or hanging, and it does not bog either. I’m sure these can get warm because they are thin piece of metal, just want to be sure. I will be doing plug chops soon. Banshee mods- stock head, stock bore, stock porting, 4mill, timing+5, 28mm pwk, k and n pods, CPI pipes, stock reeds, 50:1, 85 degree weather, 500 elevation. I was wondering if this can be my oil ratio is little to lean. I run 50:1 with klotz on 91 pump gas. Is it better to drop down to 40:1 to save longevity of my engine? Any recommendations would be great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandman101 Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 40:1 would maybe be a little safer but not being able to touch your pipes after it’s been running isn’t “too hot”... that’s normal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
