greg4510 Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 i have a 2000 banshee with stock heads with 26 mikuni carbs. the only thing i have done to it is v force 2 reeds; vito's superstock pistons std bore; dyna fs ignition; fmf powercore pipes; the jetting is 280 main with a 25 pilot. i was trying to find out what kind of horsepower i might have at the rear wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajogejr Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 I'd agree with fast500...40ish If you have the time and money....programming that dyna on a dyno will net you a few ponies...but, could also mean you'll need race gas...

greg4510 Posted September 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 if i wanted to be around 50 to 65 horses what would i have to do to it. i have about a 1500 to 1800 dollar budget but any ideas would really help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmcbanshee Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Good Porting are a great mod and maybe a coolhead with 19cc domes or .020'' milled head with a set of dual 33mm PWK carbs would give some good HP... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Porting, Porting, Porting.... Sooner or later, you're gonna wanna bump the compression and/or timing...but on pump gas with a good port jobs, 55 to 60 HP is very, very dooable... What exactly do you plan on doing with the bike? Trails, drags, etc?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg4510 Posted September 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 i want to ride trails but i mostly drag it for fun. i run 110 octane fuel already so bumping compression shouldnt be a problem at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Ok... Right now, you're wasting money and hurting performance by running 110 with no changes in compression or timing.... Get the motor a dune port, and pickup a NOSS head with 19cc domes. Then, get a timing plate and set it at +6, and remove the crank and have it trued/welded. For about 1800....you should be able to accomplish that...if you can do your own tear down and assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg4510 Posted September 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 how does running 110 octane fuel in a stock bike hurt the performance of the bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izericson Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 it doesnt really hurt performance but you are wasting your money because your engine is not burning it all. running 110 in a stock engine does zero for performance except make your exhaust smell better in my opinion.

moneybags Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Welcome to the BHQ I have been a member for 3 weeks and spent over 9 grend so far. it all started with the videos and had to go buy a brand new shee after that. dont get me wrong I have always wanted a shee but after spending a day in the videos on the sight I went strate to the shop and got a shee. First came skid plated then extream power lid last tuesday it was the t-5 pipes and V-force and last night it was nurf bars and handel bars. 3 weeks of this sight and it has turned into an all out adiction. I need an intervintion. never mind i just need to go riden. I am out of hear to find sompthing elce I want I think I put this in the wrong spot sorrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually...that is not accurate, allow me to explain. Running higher compression or advanced timing causes the engine to run hotter. When it runs hotter, it can actually start pre-ignition (pinging) because the spark plug is not actually igniting the mixture, the heat in the combustion chamber is.... Race fuel with a higher octane burns slower, so in other words...it doesn't ignite as easily as say normal pump fuel. When you raise compression and timing to a certain amount...you have to have this...or you're going to lunch your motor... However, when your engine doesn't have the need...the fuel is burning slower than it needs to. Slower burning fuel can hurt performance... Now..are we talking a ton of HP...? Nope...you probably won't even feel it by the seat of your pants, and might barely be noticeable on a dyno. However....the bottom line is why spend 4 to 5 bucks a gallon on 110 when you can use good ol premium out of the pump and it will perform just as it should...

greencoloredride Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 After I put all my parts on my bike, I ran 50/50 mix for a lil while just in case but I slowly dropped the mix down to make sure it never pinged and now Im back to just 93 octane and shee runs just fine.
