Too Many Toys Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Don't forget Dennis Packard!! Gotta remind you of the Utah builders, also LC Performance in Utah is tearing it up. They have won banshee wars in their class several years in a row now!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueshee03 Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 to each their own. i dont think there is one special builder that builds the super bad ass motor for racing. sure there are many that do very well, but racing is more setup. you can have 110 hp, but if your setup doesnt get the power to the ground your pissing up a rope. my advice is do some searching and research. call them up and remember that everyone one you talk to will say they are the best. it comes down to more of a personal thing. does this guy sound like a prick or does he seem pretty cool. asking on here seems to turn into a pissing match. you probably get pm saying go here or there. but you have to do some checking on your own. IMO HAVE fun and get some vids of you racing. 475012[/snapback] well said wes.i have done a lot of drag racing and have seen alot of different builders motors run.some of the fastest motors i've seen run were done by builders that you hardly ever hear mentioned.i would'nt have a motor done by someone just because they have a name thats posted every where you look.i also would'nt get one from a builder that sent me a pm without me contacting him first. some only want the all mighty dollar.get some ideas and oppinions here on hq ,get some over at planetsands.check around ,talk to various builders and compare.

itsjustagreat1 Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Gotta say that Kip at Dune Trash Racing in Wichata Kansas can build some fast and wild machines! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesw Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 ask 23champ and reded about a motor of kips on the dyno at waynoka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too Many Toys Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 It also depends on what you are looking to spend. Some builders build the big engines (10mm-20mm) and can create huge power with them. Others can make your 350 run like a bad out of hell for alot cheaper. Just check around because all the builders mentioned are great builders but find one that will build what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketboy Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 also you wil llose for mtime to time no matter how bad your shit is ,theres alaways someone faster and setup better,speed is measured in cubic dollars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 True dat Rocket...especially about the cubic dollars. Not to mention, you can have a fast ass bike...but, if the suspension isn't setup properly, or you flat out can't ride for a shit, what does that matter. i'm sure there's not a person on this board who hasn't been beaten by a slower bike by a better rider...PERIOD... Saying I want to have the fastest banshee to beat everyone is like saying I want to have more money than Bill Gates. It's a good dream....but hardly possible...

sheefreak Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Let me know when you find one. I will take two!!! 479474[/snapback] Patriot Raceing is doing a stock cylinder drag port setup for me now, I was pointed in their direction because their porting is a little smoother as far as drag from bottom to top than a lot of peoples drag ports, but as stated before, you are not going to be able have the best of both worlds. What I am building is a bike that will run strong w/a lot of bikes, but also still duneable. But it will not be the best duner, and it won't be the fastest bike on the strip. Some other names I haven't heard that build good stuff are Grand River Racing, and Tyson racing(to throw out a little Michigan love).

Anybody into drag racing banshees knows about GRR... Tyson has a very reputable name, and A&S out of MI builds very fast bikes, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't work out all that well. So I just built to instead. One for duning and one for hillshooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 All depends on how serious you want to drag race.... You can build a pretty darned fast dune quad which will beat most of the bikes out there.... I'm building a 4 mil cub for just that. I plan on trailing about 40% of the time, duning 20% of the time...and play drag racing with friends the rest (mostly sand strips or dune racing) I know I'll have the fast bike of my bunch...but, I also know I can go to Silver lake and they'll be a good handful of quads that'll hand it to me all day long. However...those same guys would have their hands full in a trails. +12 swingarms and 90 to 120 HP aren't very trail friendly.... Drag porting is fast, darned fast...but you normally end up with about 1800 to 2500 RPM of usable power....and a lot of it. It's like turning on a light switch with a rubber band...you just never know. I'm hoping to have about 3500 to 4000 worth of usable power....
