cloeter Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Has anybody installed a rev box, was wondering if it is worth buying and how does it work, are there any huge hp gains with this product??? :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
differentstrokes Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 They market them as rev boxes for 2 strokes, but on a banshee they don't affect the rev limit very much. The type of pipes you have are what determines how high it revs, but they do increase the rev limit on 4 strokes. They can advance your timing some and give a hotter spark which will give you a little power boost and some even let you program the power curve for the type of riding you do. I've got a GYTR cdi which is kind of a milder one, but better than stock and I like it pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloeter Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 So it is actually a waiste to buy one for the banshee??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
differentstrokes Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 I wouldn't really say a waste, but I'd spend my money on things like reeds that are priced about the same before I bought a cdi. I guess if you were into drag you could get a really hot ignition, but most people just run a timing advance. I don't know your mods, but for the same price you could also get a coolhead and an adjustable timing plate and come out better off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 I would buy one if my stock CDI was shot, and I didn't have the almost 300 bucks for a Dyna programmable. For 100 bucks or so, they're a bargain. A new CDI from the dealer is over 500 bucks I think... Why on earth you'd pay that over a Dyna is beyond me... But, if you're buying one for performance reasons only, don't waste your money. Get a timing plate, set it at +4 and forget it. Better mod for 1/3 the price.
