Mod Banshee Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Ok I am runing 14/38 on my mod shee and I drag race in 300ft. Do u think this is a good gearing for 300ft drag racing? Look at my signature for mods. I have not tryed out this gearing yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at my signature for mods. I have not tryed out this gearing yet. 363993[/snapback] Hey MOD,that gearing sounds really high.Dirt or sand?Tires make a huge difference also.The next time I go to some dirt drags,I'll either run a 13/41 or 12/41. 300 ft. is not very far.The last time I went to the drags,4th was the highest gear I would get to (using 14/41).I'm hoping to launch in 3rd and make it to 6th.I might be wrong,but it's only trial and error.There all so many factors:hp.,torque,tires,track conditions,etc... I think I'd try 13/41.Just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mod Banshee Posted May 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 The track is dirt and I use 20x11x9 Razr 2s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mod Banshee Posted May 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 how about 13/38 or 12/38 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badcompany Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Well, on our gas 350, we run 14/42 with pro-wedges, leave in second and end in 5th, and last race I was running consistant 4.40s with a 4.33. Now, I can't tell you what would be a very good gear to run since I dont know how strong your motor is plus Ive never ran Razrs, but its from my experiences my best times are turned leaving in 2nd, and ending in 5th. Our stock port banshee I was running a 13/39, I ran a 4.799 but I was having to slip the clutch hard to get it to not bog in 2nd, so next race I'll probaly switch to a 13/41. So my opinion is to gear to start in second, whatever that gear may be. Find some dirt thats similar to your tracks, and figure out where to start in second.

That does sound good though, why change it if your winning every time? BTW, What were the rules for the trail mod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mod Banshee Posted May 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Yes I did try to start in second and it would bog on the start. For trail mod u could not have any Porting and no Big Bores and u had to run pump gas. So Know with the port work It puts me in Pro Mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really you need to just keep going until you have what your confortable with. Does your track ever have any test and tune nights, or anything of the sort?

Mod Banshee Posted May 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 (edited) yes the track I race at does have test and Tune runs. But I also have a 300ft drag track at home that I test and tune on but it is hard packed dirt. that is what I am doing this weekend I will let u know how I make out.

Mod Banshee Posted May 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 what u think about a 12/41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
540alkyshee Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 what u think about a 12/41 367915[/snapback] i would start with the 13/41 that worked real good for me when the lights start to fall pin the throttle get up on the tank and leave in 3rd the less you have to shift the more time you won't loose get your shifting down good i got to the point to where the tires never stopped throwing the roost and i have to use the clutch to shift! don't let off! i might make it to a race or 2 if i don't sell it i hate to do it i really don't want to i have owned it since it was brandnew and it stayed stock for maybe a month tops! but hey we wouldn't buy them to leave them stock now would we? i think that gearing is a little low for that it will rev to quick and you will have to shift quick the thing i have learned when i ran that gearing is that the motor does not pull as hard and it slowed me down actually talk to gordy about it he can explain it to you. a 2 stroke is weird the more you load it without bogging it the harder it pulls! i am running 4.8 right now on a stock stroke bike with some "secret" porting on alky and its not tuned right it keeps dropping a cylinder but i think i got it straightened out i am gonna work on it more next week when i get home. hopefully i can come run with you guys i'll take it easy on you lol!
