i got a 03 banshee and am thinking about putting on a boost bottle. how much h-power gain should i expect to see?? the banshee has a k&n air filter nothing else and is run about 1000ft above sea level if that helps. Thanks

 

From what I've heard, nothing or almost nothing....From what I've heard, its basically just a waste of money...

 

Boost bottle waste of money, reed spacers a waste of money!!!

You want to fly, shave .015 off the head, Vito's degree key and jet kit, afetrmarket air filter and a good set of pipes, Toomey, CPI's etc.

Port the stock reeds and add some carbon fiber reeds and you will be set.

 

Hey Ernie, did you do any sandboarding while down in Chile? Those dunes look awesome!

 

No I sure didn't buddy. They were a little to steep for me. When I start rolling down hill it going to be hard to stop!!! LOL

 

Ernie - just how exactly do you go about porting the reeds.... i've read if you cut off about 1/32" - 1/16" off of the end of the actual reed petal that they'll open up A LOT quicker.... i'm kinda looking for simple inexpensive things to do to my banshee... i made reed spacers for it.... so no waste of money.... and do spacers call for a re-jet?

 

Well all I did is open up the inside of the cage to allow more air flow into the reed cage. I don't think any kind of re-jetting is needed for spacers, I didn't and had no problems.

 

yes, boost bottles are a huge waste of money. Their manufactures can talk about how it ionically stablizes the two carburation systems for a better balanced blah blah blah.. Pretty much, its just a chunck of shiny aluminum that makes it hard to run your gas line and throttle cable to the carbs. For the 25-30 bucks you would pay for one, instead buy good two stroke oil to run when mixing, like Klotz or AmsOil.
