Default BLASTER 40.7HP!!!

A stock blaster has 15 - 18 hp tops if i remeber right. Why would you want to start with something that has 15hp , put a ton of cash into it and end up with something that isnt much faster than a modded banshee or 250r ? Might as well start with a banshee and put the same amount of cash into it and really have a screamer.
Because some people arn't fortunate enough to have a banshee or 250R. I modded my blaster because thats what I had to start with, so thats what I worked with. Someone with a part time job dippin donouts or pushin carts may not be able to afford a shee or a R..

Very true, but some of these engine kits arent cheap and neither is suspension. At some point a blaster owner has to realize that he has reached a point of extremely diminishing and even negative returns on their investments and understand that its a better decision to trade up to a better machine than to sink more money into the current one. Its one thing to do a few hundred dollars worth of work and hundreds more in bolt ons, but some of these setups get ridiculous.

I agree, some people have to make due with what they have, but when you have to draw the line somewhere. I myself think it would be sweet to have one, i juts think it would be unique.

Modding any fourwheeler is a bad investment [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] so is just buying one. Might as well add a third strike and waste a lil extra modding a slow one.
