I am planning to set up my little '06 Blaster for trail riding. I have an oil block off kit, a non-tors carb with a longer throttle cable, and a reed spacer with Boysen fiber reeds.
I am planning to set up the quad for trail riding so low end power is my target. I have a skidplate already installed and I did wheel spacers in the front. I also have trail-oriented front tires and I used mx/trail rear tires. I will be keeping the stock rear axle and front arms.
When installing the reed spacer it is my understanding that if I put it between the cage and the engine I will optimize low end and if it is in between the intake and the cage It optimizes top end. So I will be installing it between the cage and the engine at the moment.
As far as intake modification is there really much power to be gained by drilling holes in the top of the airbox? I do not really want to drill it out if I dont have to since it will most likely be getting wet trail riding. Are there other options for getting more airflow without compromising water resistance?
Right now the engine is having some issues leading me to think I have broken/chipped reeds. I know that bad reed symptoms are the same as a blown top end so I have also ordered a new top end with piston if I need it.
I will keep this thread updated with my build and will post pictures when I get a chance.
