Default zilla swingarm

Looking at getting an extended swingarm, what length would you suggest? Mildly ported, vforce reeds, 41.5 mm taper bore carb with 10 paddle haulers. It wheelies like crazy in the sand could decide wether to go 2.5 or 4 over, don't want to lose to much traction. Thanks for your input!

Here's my $.02 worth:

Looking at your mods, Personally, I would not spend the $$ on a longer swingarm... (Not the best bang for the buck)
at the very most, I wouldn't go any further than 2" over. Any longer than that, and you lose too much traction to be worthwhile...
If you were running 100HP+ it would be worth doing.

I think you're a little over paddled, and it pulls really hard out of the hole (Why the problem)
Practice getting your weight forward for the launch, then move backwards to increase traction as you get rolling... you might also play with gearing some too...
A little practice can make ya pretty quick... A little wheelie is a good thing (Max weight transfer)... a big wheelie is not so good (Obviously)

Good luck
