ness Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 I was riding with a friend last weekend and he was telling me how he was satisfied with the power of his Blaster for trail riding. So we switched bikes for a little while. When we stoped to switch back he was nolonger satisfied with the power of his Blaster and was asking what simple things he could do to get a little more power. I told him he could shave the head for a little more bottom to early mid power. I've got him sold on the idea but don't know where to get it done or how much is safe to take off and still run 92-93 octaine. His Blaster motor will be stock besides this mod. Does anyone know how much to take off and who could do it. I know a Blaster is slow and blablabla but if I get him started making modifications it will be a better machine. Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledofthezep Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Honestly, I'd filter, pipe, & re-jet the little bugger & you'll be amazed at how good it wakes up. Dunno about blasters...but with a banshee to run reg oct fuel you don't want to push over 150-160lbs compression; anything higher qill require higher octane fuel.

ness Posted August 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 ledofthezep, ya you are probably right, but I'll have a hard time telling him that when I haven't done it to my Banshee. I think I need to ride a piped Banshee then within a few days I would need to pipe mine I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duner Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 I've took .030 off for a couple of guys,with no problems.No change in gas between the two.I would check compression after decking to make shure.Anything below 160psi & you should be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshdog Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 I would take Led's advice. My little bro has one. Throw some mods on there, you'll be suprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BdBanshee Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 I have machined .030" off several Blaster heads and it works great. All the one's I did still run pump gas. One of the cheaper mods that make a difference on the Blaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
