try a CT sonic 240 jug on a 4mm stroker crank.it will have plenty of power to run with them bikes on an mx track...45hp with an mx port easily if setup right.
Can the Blaster motor.....

I talked to Shawn at Snyder Motorsports in depth about this subject. He corrected me too. The most he has made with a Blaster motor was 36whp. He did say his dyno reads low compared to allot of other people. He also told me allot of other ins and outs to the Blaster motor. He told me that Strokers with 240 kits rip, but are not very reliable. He things I should do a 4mm stroker, port it, headwork, carb, and it would run good and be reliable. I am still on the fence about a motor swap though. I am kinda leaning that way. IDK!
I would. I don't want to offend anyone on the forum but blasters are ticking time bombs, and everyone knows it.
maybe theres a slim chance just maybe that snyder motorsports is wrong
about their relibility and available potential
Kennedys 50hp blaster is on pump gas . maybe you should call him and talk to him?
Yeah I like Shawn, he is a good guy. I am sure there are many people who may have done more r and d on these motors. The CT Sonic 240 setup looks really enticing.
to hang with the big dogs it's more than motor. you need the best suspension you can get, not the most expensive, but decent stuff DIALED IN. the blaster has a short wheelbase, it will out turn the bigger bikes, with an aftermarket pipe, and alum rims it is SIGNIFICANTLY lighter than the other bikes, with a decent motor you have a power to weight advantage. you dont want a max hp motor, you want a motor with a broad powercurve, not a top end monster. you can do it..you shopuld have seen the look on Dean Sundahl's and doug Roll's faces when they realized that for almost 12 hours of a high speed 24 hour race they were getting smoked by a blaster...with a mildly ported stock 200cc cylinder...thats priceless
its very possible to race a blaster i did it but then i ran into trouble w/ breaking parts. your going to really push everything to be making the power you need. i broke 3 transmissions b4 i just bought a 450. i found that the blaster couldn't handle landing under power when you have a fair amount. but i don't have a 240 cylinder just a stock one w/ 4mm porting and high compression. one of the things i would say i hate the most about the blaster is having to run c16 in it just to keep the head gasket from popping. but if you really want to do it i would say stick w/ stock motor do good suspension mods and hope it holds up. the reason i would stay not to do a motor swap would just be for ease of work. if you really race it and have work done plan on tearing the motor down a lot and going through rings and clutches and other parts that will wear quickly when being pushed hard.
Weren't you the guy that was building engines in Cumberland Maryland, then took off, taking all of their money? If not I'm sorry, I must have you confussed with someone else that has the same name.
thats rider error. related to a lack of communication between the brain and the right hand. landing on the gas will tear up any bikes tranny quickly.
whats up with all the doubts with the blastys reliability, as with anything, how well its tuned and how well its maintained is the key to reliability. i would run my blasty in the BAHA 500 if i could, thats how confident i am in my blastys reliability
just as there are ways to make them finnicky and/or unreliable , there is also ways to safeguard the engine and keep in running strong for many years with no problems the lower end of a blaster is built tough the clutch isnt anything spectacular but it is for what is was designed for, a 17hp rating
