race gas.....

[JRP]

well im pickin up 2 new 08' ltrs later this week or weekend and my question is..... both will have the cb, air filter lid off, and baffel out for now, and do i need to run race gas or is 93 ok? I run 110 in my honda, but thats because it has a full race motor in it. Thanks

regular gas will be fine with those mods. you will only need race gas when you start to bump the compression up.

93 will be fine, When you do decide to bump up the compression do some research on what gas you will be using. I think the fuel filters clog a bit more often with certain brands of race fuel.

alright thanks, that will deffinately save me alot of money! 40 bucks for 5 gallons of cam2 gets old after a while! lol What comp. piston do you guys suggest. I have a 14:1 on my honda, but im not gonna go that route. I was thinking 13.5:1

You're going to want to look into a fuel controller if your going to mod it.....preferably a Power Commander 3 (PC3). Then you'll have to take it to a dyno to get it tuned. I don't want to tell you how to build your engine, but from what I have researched..... with a DASA exhaust, FUELATV intake, PC3, and a Hot Cam Intake cam you can get about 53Hp on a stock piston with most dyno's.

Damn, those are very impressive numbers! I think my honda is putting out around that much now, but with alot more work done to it! I am deffinately going with DASA since they sponsor me, and I will deffinately look at the powercommander! For right now though, all I am planning on doing is for the race quad, a front/rear end, exhaust, CB, nerfs, bars, stabilizer. Then once I get all of that on, i will think about cam/PC3, but i know ill end up with the PC3 real soon!

Hey man, nice to see you in the ltr section now ;) My engine is stock right now, and I run premium in it when I'm riding and practicing. When I'm racing, we drain it and run VP U4.2. Even though I still have stock compression, the dyno read that it gave my bike one more horsepower. Sometimes, 70 bucks doesn't seem just quite worth it for 5 gallons to gain 1 horse, haha, that's why it is nice to get a discount :)
