I take it you have never tuned a street bike. Try changing the jets in ALL FOUR carbs eveytime you need to make a change.
no but i've rejetted plenty of VW's V8's and Banshees for different altitudes at the sand dunes.


the banshee being most on par with your streetbike setup.

[off topic]You ride at the sand dunes? Where at?[/off topic]

[on topic]I was just kidding about the 50ft up, re-jet thing. You just have to tune them for the altitude and it can be frustrating sometimes.[/on topic]

I have a ford escort with a weber dgv(down draft) carb. with the setup I had I didn't have to change a thing when I uped th boost. ran it from 5 to 17 psi you just need to make sure you have the right fuel pressure.

I think he was just talking about tuning them n/a. Tuning two carbs sucks. I have seen turbo Banshees. They are ------- crazy. I have seen quite a few with nitrous. Those guys that ride them are nuts. They don't give a ---- if they eat ---- at 100+ in the dirt. :-X The funny thing is most of those guys run Toomies and one little spill and your leg(s) is BBQ and you need a whole new $$$ exhaust system. :-[

I don't have any pics of it yet. I made the hole set-up from the exhast manifold to the fuel regulator. It performed better than I expected altough I didn't race any-one.

haha yeah, my roomate got the toomey T6's before we went down this last summer. they hurt like ----. it was kind of a bad trip as far as luck goes. long story, i'll post it in general sometime.

no, no turbo banshee, yet. sorry.

we usually ride in oregon, right near florence. or in rexburg idaho. rexburg is about 5 hours closer, but oregon has less rock.
