Ok. I am going to completely prepare my son's motor for racing. I do mean completely. He won his class this season and will be moving up. We race cross country so low end is a must. We want to produce as much power as possible and still not run into overheating problems. Cost is not that big of issue as long as I don't get stupid with it.
We're starting with a bone stock 2002 motor. Anything and everything you could reccomend would be helpful.
I plan on doing most of the motor work my self. I will have to send out the parts for machining, but otherwise I will do it all myself.
Thanks in advance,
Darren

Have I talked to you on the phone about this before? is there any engine size limits for the class he runs in? that could determine what you can do, but if not, there are many options. For cross country you're probably going to want an engine that has a lot in high gears. A 240cc National would work with the right gearing. A stroker in the bottom would also give it more pull out of corners. let me know exactly what you're looking for and I'm sure we could help.  |

Yeah, we talked briefly but not in detail. He is moving up to a class where there is no limitation. His suspension is totally finished and now we need power. We run 22" rear wheels so that would have to be considered in gearing.
Do you have any issues with overheating with the 240 kit? The woods on some tracks are so tight your in 1st orr 2nd gear for a while.

Darren I've never had any problems with overheating the Diamond, it's built great, I've ran 7 lap mud races on the 240 and 200 Diamond engines, and they held up fine. but if you're still sketchy about the 240, Diamond can build a 200cc National that will come close to the 240. You're going to have to run 110 octane race gas though. If you're interested in getting the work done, we could probably set up a sponsorship too considering he does race (and won his class), but I would talk to you personally about that deal. Also, what suspension are you running? |

Trenga +2+1 a-arms w/ works duals with ressies. Rear is Fireball +2 with stock shock. I was going to order the works rear but I love my Elka's so much I might put an Elka tripple rate w/ ressie. Oh, the axel is +2 LSR.
Very interested in the Engine deal. We run SEVERAL races even in the off season. In fact we a running one this weekend at River Front Grand Prix in Arkansas. We will also be running the first GNCC race here in Gilmer Texas on January 31st. He can't race yet because he's not 16 but the quad will still be there with our team looking good!!!!
