thats all theyre good for....



there is no such thing as cheap horsepower. but there sure a lot of gimmicks out there for people who just want to throw away money.
 
^^^Exactly everything on the poll list is a gimmick, especially the boost bottle and powernow valve thingy. That stuff is hilarious, I really feel bad for the people that have thrown their mulla away from that stuff.
 
^^^ Same type of people that buy the "TORNADO" intake insert for there car or the little magnet thing that clamps on your fuel line to "atomize" the fuel for better gas mileage.

My favorite is the little sticker that you put under the battery of your cell phone to increase signal. and it usually comes with a little stick on screen you put over the speaker to supposedly block micro waves from your cell phone from harming you. Newsflash the very few micro waves that are emitted from your cell phone dont come from the speaker,they come from the antenna and circut board! Besides spending your entire life on a cell is probably less of a radiation hazard than watching 1 bag of microwave popcorn!
 
I just put the boys power reeds on my wheeler .an a reed space from a vito. It is worth it the difference was good. I'm very happy,do the 2...
 
I bet if you did every single thing, it would create more power, not much, but think about it. A reed spacer is pretty much like a carb spacer on a car. I've seen atleast a 10 hp increase with a carbspacer on spike one weekend.
 
ive heard reed spacers are only to space the carb back away from the clutch lever. also havent heard anything good about the other things listed.. i dont run a spacer and my motor was built by CT racing.. i did port the reed cage on my girl stock bike dont think it helped much but did it anyway..
tuning, timing, compression, porting,and fuel, play a bigger role in your power.
 
not singeling any out but it blows my mind of all people who are willing to spend hundreds of dollars on easy external latest and greatest boltons that only do marginal 1 or 2 horse gains and never get into the little engine to do the real mods ,that make the real power
 
yeah stay away from the 1/2" reeds spacer, it lifted the reeds on my vf3's twisted and burned them, brand new, just bought... i will post the pics when i get them back from the shop, i am going to get them tuesday after work, i am pissed 60 bucks for new reeds, spacer isn't worth a f*ck, cost me more than do anything for me! save your money and do something better.
 
Reed spacers and boost bootles are tuning aids, not power increasers. a motor is an air pump. to make the most power, get it to pass the most air. you can open up the intake all you want, but if the cylinder and exhaust dont match, same with the exhaust, same with the port specs. most bang for the buck... foam filter, toss the airbox lid, deck the head .020, clean the casting flash on the cylinder CAREFULLY, and decent exhaust and silencer.
