Remember Josh you are only going with hear say... That is why I stay out of these type of threads. It usually ends up in a debate with someone that has never even seen either setup up close but they have a friend who's cousin once knew someone who got to sit on a bike that had one partially installed.

Justintoxicated Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Meat head, so what your saying is Out of the box the Cheetas are better and better for the $, but after you blow up your cylinders, Ported TRex would be better since you can just bore them out, but they need extra porting to match the Cheetas in the first place? Is T-Rex just a Big bore and Cheetas are aftermarket cylinders then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meat_Head Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Meat head, so what your saying is Out of the box the Cheetas are better and better for the $, Yes Justin this is exactly what i am saying. but after you blow up your cylinders, Ported TRex would be better since you can just bore them out, but they need extra porting to match the Cheetas in the first place? For recreationnal riding i still beleive the Cheetahs are the way to go even if you cant bore them out,Nikasil is very durable in fact the rings will wear out before the plating.Todays sleds are all running somekind of plated cylinders weither its Nikasil,chrome etc. because it does improve engine reliability and in alot of cases when your engine blows up all you got to do is slap in a new set of pistons and go.I have seen sleds go for 10000 miles before having to refresh the top end...Of course sometimes shit happens and the plating gets damaged, having them replated will cost more $$$ than a simple bore job and in most cases will take longer to get done.This is why drag racers not all of but alot of them will prefer dealing with regular sleeves,blow the engine up,take the cylinders to the shop,bore them,slap in a new set of pistons and you are ready to go for the next day races...With the Cheetahs you damage the plating, you are out at least a week sometimes more,it depends on where you live who you deal with etc. No matter how you compare the two set ups weither it is sleeved vs plated cylinders,4 transfer ports vs 6 or billet head with interchangeable domes vs cast head the T-REX cylinders will have to be ported to run with the Cheetahs.Is the T-REX set up better once you have blown your engine up,some will say yes while others will say no, in the end its a matter of preferences. Is T-Rex just a Big bore and Cheetas are aftermarket cylinders then? They are both aftermarket powervalved cylinders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamahammer Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 any info on a price differance i cant find solid info on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meat_Head Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Both top ends are around 2000$$ +- 200$$ depending on who/where you buy them from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamahammer Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Thanks for the info tying to decide if i want a stroker or a power valve then a stroker. which would be the most bang for the buck.. 4 mill and porting $1200 or powervalve $?

Meat_Head Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 4 mill and porting $1200 or powervalve $? Powervalves allow you to run a "wild" port job and still retain some ridability,now best bang for your $$$, if you mean hp/dollars with a 4mm crank the stock cylinders set up is the best bang for your $$$.Let me add this though once you have tried those aftermarket cylinders there is no going back...
