Gearing for 1/4 ice drag on near stock Banshee


Flyin_Shee

Recommended Posts

On January 24th I will be doing a radar run on Lake Washington in Minnesota and I am going to need to make sure I have the best gearing for the quarter mile. I am running FMF Fatty pipes and Powercore II silencers and ordering PWK30mm carbs. I MIGHT be adding Pro Design cool heads and 21cc domes to it later on and maybe even V-Force 2 reeds, or 3 if I can get them for a good price.

 

Can someone tell me what is THE best sprocket set up for the 1/4. I will be running 20" tires on HiPer rims with ice screws and studs. The studs will probably be around 1-2 inches long. Thanks in advance.

 

Also, right now I am running one tooth smaller than stock (13 I believe) and it's definately way too low for my liking, I don't even think I can hit the powerband in any gear. Feels almost like a Blaster :(<_< . What is the stock gearing?

most radar runs I have been to run 1000 feet, not a 1/4 mile. Its only cutting off 320 fett, but thats alot when your reved out. gear it up some, but in with the mods you have now, it will be hard to pull a really high gear.

In 1/8th mile drag strip I'm @ the middle to top of 5th w/18x10x10 hossiers,gearing 15/41

 

If U R running a complete 1/4 1320 , if u r running a 20" tire u need at least 16 maybe even a 17 front sprocket 41 rear... :unsure:

I would run a taller tire but I'm tight on money, so 20" will have to do. My 30mm carbs should be coming in sometime this next week, or next. What reeds should I get? Boyeson or V-Force and what's a good place to order them from? I might also order a Pro Design Cool Head w/ 21cc domes (so I can still run pump gas).

 

As long as I have the Banshee torn apart right now, are there any companies that sell an aftermarket shift star for easier shifts?

 

And where is the cheapest place to get a good port?

 

Also, I might be able to have test time with gearing...all depending on when I order my mods and if I order any more mods besides my 30mm carbs.
