OK, so I am looking on eBay and I want to know that if I get the bracket (diamond J Widening Kit), do I need longer shocks? I am struggling with this decision as I am not sure what to do and I need your input guys. So I'm thinking of what I should order this weekend, either go with handing and control by getting the Diamond J kit and then buying wheel spacers for the back. Or should I go for performance and get the flywheel lightened. I would appreciate your wisdom and input due to the fact that I am not happy with the performance of my blaster. But i do know from reading here that the performance could be a lot better, plus I am eventually going to want the widening kit.
1. I have never used the widening kit, so I have no opinion on them. I know many members on here use them with no troubles and will suggest them if the question is asked.
2. the sell for $219.00 on eBay
HERE, why not spend the extra couple bucks and get the actual a-arms from Alba
HERE?
3. then you have hub spacers for the rear here for $72.00
HERE. Yes I know you can get them cheaper but I personally dont know if I would trust the stud extenders vs something like that.
4. That is a combined $300 on the front end. But you say its either that or flywheel lightening!?!?! Ken lightens flywheels for $60.00 + shipping. maybe $80 total??? Do you know how much performance you can get for $300?? Ken ports the blaster cylinder for $175.00 based on his website
HERE. Add shipping you will be close to $200+. then Add in the head mod and forget about the flywheel for now. The only thing lightening your flywheel gets you is revving the motor faster. Not and actual performance gain per say.
My suggestion? Get the a-arms and pass on the widening kit. then later send your cylinder and head to Ken, have him port and do the head mod.
