Install a RZ engine....The swap has been many times with favorable results and in perspective minimal hassle. You have to get all the RZ goodies(CDI, harness, servo control) and little fab work to get the pipes to mount up. Other than that, its a bolt up operation.

There are aftermarket cylinders that have power valves. The T-rex cylinder(s)(its a monoblock) and the FMF cylinder (same thing)...

Cost comparasion would put the two very close to being the same and very likely equal power... I think that the RZ would likely be cheaper to maintain, not having a hodge-podge of parts to remember what came off of what.

FMF has a powervalved 400CC kit. That thing SCREAMS! I rode on at the last riding trip I took. With the right pipe setup, you can use this kit on anything! With some low end 2-into-1's it can be used for MX, T5's it would kill the dunes.. just take your pick! The great thing is with the banshee, you can have anything you want!
