Didn't you say you have a 87' 250x in another forum (Sport quads) and you didn't know what kind of quad you were getting yet? But anyway I've heard the kit is pretty good. Also get a 400EX I love mine![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

I ran one for about a year with no problems. Lot of drag racing and dune riding. The powervalve cylinders do pull real hard bottom to top.

I had the 400cc stock stroke setup with 35mm carbs on race gas. It dynoed at 80hp w/ 43 ft #s of torque. This is what to expect with the cylinders right off the shelf. I am sure a drag port would easily get it real close to 90 hp.

Nah, not on gas you wont get 90 unless your running an ideal drag setup and good with your tuning.

Expect 70-80 out of it on the dunes and they are reliable

i just bought a banshee pro built that makes just over 90 hp we put it on alcohol and it was to finicky it required to much tuning if i ride often,we changed to B32 and it still makes the hp and requires much less attention. If you guys know a motor builder that gets that much hp on pump gas I'd like his name I think we can revelutionize the entire atv racing scene.
