ive lost a stone in 2 weeks doing the atkins,

just wondering how it will affct my zillas performance.

 

yeah im doing the atkins diet a stone is 14pounds in weight i thought you guys in the us were into poundage, and presumed you would have stones thrown in there as well,

most people in the UK if asked there weight would express it as stones ie 10 stone even tho were suposed to be metric these days,


as far as power to weight ratios go i think ive worked it out,

a standard zilla weighs 400pounds and produces about 50hp

that gives it a power to weight ratio of 0.125hp per pound

when i get on it that power ratio dipps to 0.076 hp per pound,

so in theory a less powerfull engine in a lighter quad with a lighter rider could produce a better power to weight ratio,

this would mean a good chance of loosing a race a gainst them even tho im riding the fastet production quad ever made and im not realy wanting that to happen hence, engine mods and weight loss,


ill probably gain more power by loosing a few stone than any realistic engine mods would give me,


cheers for the compiment on the quads ive only got the 1 now and its been well modded and doesnt look atall like the original photo partly due to my jet washer removing the stickers,LOL

il have to get some updated photos when its back from the shop

 

Your theory is right on, UKzilla. That's exactly why many people drop a zilla engine in a 250 frame.

Don't lose too many stones because you're gonna need some muscle to hang on to that Rx'd zilla[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
