need more power dragracing a blackbird on wednesday street meets .has yoshi 4-1 and filter want too run it into the 9sec bracket . done 5 passes so far with a 10.1 sec . any good performance mods too get it too run faster . i only weigh 60kg so it not me slowing it down .lol

Fatso (just kidding, I'm jealous). Have you thought about changing the sprockets? You would lose some top speed for better acceleration.

thanks for the reply the owner of the bike has changed the front sprocket . i told him too buy a suzuki but he wont listen . lol

Put an air shifter on it,that will take 2/10ths off.

ok thanks for that any ideas on were too get performance cams for the blackbirds

Web Cam will make cams any way you want.
How much do you want to spend,or how much does your friend want to spend ?

Just for the uneducated namely me, what is a "air shifter"?

Its a system that allows you to shift gears very very fast.
Its based on compressed air and it usually has a tank just for that!
Its for drag racing mostly..

Some work electically, no tank necessary. How do I know? I was surfing and looking yesterday.

Yes CB. They are called power-shifters man.. An electric powered solenoid does the shifting for you. Similar to the air shifters..
Air shifters operate, well, by air...


Btw there are also quick-shifters available. These ones you use your foot to shift, and it detects it and cuts the power out at the right time, so you dont have to use the clutch..

Faster than Angus Young's, baby. Years and years of being married to a fridge. My current bride is somewhat of a detriment to hand speed, but I'll not be complaining.
