Default A need opinions...Banshee vs. Raptor...

I figured. We was all out riding Sunday, and he was like, I got my nitrous. So I was like, my motor is getting built to a Signiture 686. He's like we'll race when it gets back. So I asked what he had changed since I smoked him with just my Alba pipe.

He said, I got new pistons, fmf powercore pipes, the nitrous set up, a cam, and a boost bottle with cool heads. But when I raced him the first time, he had the pistons, cool head, and boost bottle. The only thing differnt now is the pipes and the nitrous.

I was like, how does it run. He said check this out, and he got off and said his nitrous was off. He putted down to the end of a long stretch of field and drove by. He came back and got off and screwed around with something on the bottle, and putted down to the end of the field. He came back just like before. Didn't seem to be spinning more or any faster then the first time. So I said yeah I'll race you once I get my bike back, and broke in.

The cam thing sorta threw me off, but I know nothing about banshee's, just that when they are built they can fly. This damn thing still has all stock suspension(no extensions or anything), stock bore and the mod's above.

So after they bragged it up, they said all they have to do is one mod to get 150hp. I just shook my head and said I would see him in 2 weeks. I knew this guy was a completely dipsh*t when he started bragging. I just wanted alittle re-insurance before I did something stupid like got my **** handed to me. LOL. But you guys give me more confidence then I need. So I'll definetly update the situation in a couple weeks.

The owner of the banshee that said it has a cam doesn't know a lick about the mechanics of a 2stroke, so as for his nitrious he said he running to me I just think it's the sudden hit of the powerband kicking in. This sounds just like a normal 2stroke banshee with nothing special, compared to your Signiture Craycraft 686.

That guy sounds like a complete tool. He probably has a nitrous bottle mounted to the bike and not even hooked up.
