how do people get so much power out of the banshees how much money do they put in them and what are some cheaper ways to get some pretty big hp numbers out of a banshee

 

1st off I guess it depends what you consider "Big HP"

 

a quick gain for HP is shave the head, pipe it, port it, and get new filter.....

 

Porting is the main thing to gain a lot of power on a 2-stroke. You need intake(air filter/air box) and exhaust mods to go with it.

 

"big hp" is definately a relative term. to some people, adding 10-20 hp is big. i've caught wind of a 230hp banshee w/o nitrous or turbo or super charger...

 

230 hp? turbo cbr1000's only make about 295hp, it cant be the normal 350 engine modded, had to have a bike or sled engine in it.........

 

i think it's basically a crazy a$$ crankenstein. the cases might be stock...

 

What does one of those nice triples run for hp with a fairly aggressive build?

 

200

 

be careful of peoples "claimed HP" numbers. They are mostly bogus. We have a Factory Pro Dyno, and our lead tech is building a 2005 Banshee and are dyno tuning it very carefully. So far we have gone with a Welded Crank, Porting, head mod, bored the carbs, Toomey T5's K&N Pro Flow in stock Airbox, and have arrived at 60 HP.... Then we changed our Fuel/Oil to Maxima 927 and Trick 110 mixed at 20:1, jetted it on the dyno, and were able to make a 65 HP run. That's true rear wheel HP. A Dyno Jet Dyno would probably measure it at well over 70 HP. That's a fast Banshee for a mild build. If anyone tells you they have a 230HP Banshee that's normally aspirated, they are yanking your chain.
