Hi fellows,

I got a 98 banshee, with aftermarket pipes and silencers (I can't find the name of those), and the jetting has been changed to fit the new pipes. And that's it.

I want more power.

From anyone's experience, what's the best modification(s) I can do to make my machine rock ?
Saying that in a simplistic way, it would be, "I want the cheapest, most powerful, and most reliable kit".

Can anyone help?

Get a set of aftermarket reeds and get the cylinder head shaved for more compression. That should do the trick.

SaMsOn is right on the money. I would recommend Boyesen Power reeds unless you want to change the entire reed cage. Then I would suggest V-Force Delta 2 reeds. Shaving the head is probably the most cost effective (around $85) but be careful who does the shaving. I went with the Pro Design Cool Heads (over $200) but I wanted the additional cooling capacity to match my Super Cooler radiator. Also, you might want to invest $25 in degree key from Vito's racing. It advances your timing 4 degrees. The dynos that I have seen indicate that the key adds about 2 to 3 horsepower at the rear wheels.

One detail that's very important.
What ever I do, and whatever power the modification brings me, I DON'T WANT TO USE RACE GAS !
