i am running a 300 with a 240 kit and fmf exhaust but i think i need bigger. but yeah like stated above... they just say its a bigger stage to sell the product

uhhhh yeah if you have a real 240 kit your jet should be way bigger. i used to run a 310 jet on my stock bore/stroke engine with a exhaust and lid on.
 
I would just tell the kids that its Stage 4 thats what they all want to hear right? and because stages really mean nothing you wouldnt really be lying
 
this is probobly a dumb question but what are you guys talking about when you say lid on or lid off? but i just bought the blaster havent done anything myself it came with a tommey b1 with the jet kit in and an intake spacer.
 
I never understood the point of a reed spacer. If I'm not mistaken, I think it would just make my carb not fit.

your 34mm dosent hit the clutch arm? i just ordered a spacer last night so my carb would fit better without hittting the arm, right now i have it slightly tilted to one side seems to work fine but i will be happier when its straight.
 
Haha.. Stage 49..

Me and a friend once spent ages building a blaster engine using simulation software and all that Cr*p, and it would go through a piston about every 25 hours when it was ripped.. We called it stage "tromocratic" or stage terrorism..
 
of course, it could have been that we had no time and money to get things done the right way, so all the porting was via Dremel.. lapping crank cases was via a counter top and a load of wet dry paper (when his mom wasnt there), sweating bearings was a bake-the-case in the oven deal, and new fiber gaskets.. well, they came from a BIG roll of gasket paper and were cut by hand on a drawing board using x-acto blades.. Need I say what we did when we needed a bigger main jet?
 
ok... spacers suck nuts as far as im concerned. i have a 240 kit, fmf pipe/ silencer, ported, and v-force reeds and my blaster is fast. today i put a reed spacer in and it actually made my quad slower than it was before and my carb is a biotch to fit. but now i cant top it out in 6th. it just bogs at full throttle. im not saying it has to do with the spacer, but it didnt do it before i put the spacer in. just a little fyi...
 
i think the idea of spacers as iv said before is that it gives the intake a longer tract. trials bike riders who need lots of torque will sometimes use longer intake boots to move the carb further away from the cylinder, doing basically the same as reed spacer. it apparantly works because as you have a flow of fuel/air mix between the carb and cylinder whilst running, if your carb is realy close if you shut off the throttle, then snap it back open again. the closer your carb is to the cylinder there will be less fuel/air mix in there so you have to wait that spli second for the flow to start again before you get the best pickup/throttle response and apparantly torque. where as using a longer intake tract, via a spacer or longer boot, you have basically have more of a ''store'' of unburnt mix in the intake so when you whack the throttle open again, it sucks that in first.
the same is said to be true for boost bottles as you are in effect doing a similar process.
but saying that i read a part on another site claiming that boost bottles are non generic, they are incredibly successfull but, its main focus point is that is is tuned speciffically for that engine/pipe etc, the exhaust expansion cone cuases harmonice wave back the the motor and when tuned properly [by dictating its volume] the boost bottle maximises the harmonics of the pipe and can make more power. so you cant just strap on any bosst bottle as it need to be adjusted for your setup, the reason i sold my vitos bottle.
stages, are crap btw. its been re-jetted or its not......
