Erik - You have a 10.5 comp Blast running 180 main? Did I read that right?

10.5-180, correct!
Cant wait to see a pic of the new 'filter'.


Not currently receiving e-mails from Badweb perhaps due to the new server.

The 180 was put in at the dyno runs. It is too rich, but made the most consistent power over the most rpms. Ran to the rich WOT (6500-7500rpm). Lean without the air filter, but perfect at 6500-7500.
Ran out of time for further tuning, but I think a 175 or 170 might be perfect (with air filter), but I'm going to need a skinnier needle as I think I'm nearing the limit of needle shims.
Didnt bother with any tuning below 3000 rpms... yet.

- the specks are double the flow with half the protection ratio - 0.01 still isn't bad in my book - I change the oil every 2000 - so long term dirt is not a worry - just don't want gunk in the carb - he says this will be water resistant not repellent due to the more open weave -

Not much of a difference on the Black bike - things are a bit more linear but thats it - the red bike is still down so will have to wait on that test. I will say that my long usage of the Dial A Jet by Thunder Products has left me totally impressed - not having to rejet after each mod - how it compensates and smooths out the fuel delivery - feels very linear, never having to worry about leanness, I have really come to appreciate its ability. Erik - you should try it on the race bike - be prepared to jet down to 45/155 - lol -

The raceBlast is already at 45/155 (or 150). Looking forward to the dyno runs and trying the stack out and some new needles and jetting. After that we'll try the Dial-a-jet.

Jim, I think your the first person I know to actually buy a stock a/f or was that $$ for the K & N?

If Erik wanted to continue the Blast with todays EPA - that would be the way to go and stay carbed!

Don't put the DAJ on the race bike - I don't think they make jets in the 140 range.

From what I understand they do make jets smaller than 140 (I have a 140).

I think we've all been waiting a long time for a Blast power upgrade with off the shelf parts!

Sometimes I feel like Sisyphus and the Blast is my rock!

Nah, I have not bought anything yet. Just commenting on the price! I will troll the archives to see if there are any recommendations.

Me? Foul Demon? There's the pot calling the kettle black! LOL... who was it who tempted me into hanging onto my other blast? Remember??? "keep one as a stocker and build the other one". I'm just trying to return the favor...

I thought you were going for the record of most blasts owned by a non-dealership or even some dealerships for that matter... I better alert The Guinness Book of Records and let them know that you wimped out.

I see someone bid low on it so the "buy it now" is gone.

Actually a past member from New Zealand has that honor - Gavin - bought 6 Blasts, imported them, sold all but one then fixed that one up pretty nice -






Then he sold that to afford some other thing - he's was/is a collector.

Great paint scheme, really makes the blast look classy, rich rather than cheap. I might steal ... errr.. umm borrow his ideas! I really like the silver / aluminum on the primary and cam covers instead of black. How hard would it be to put the pushrod tubes on the blast like that?

Well you could cut everything out - use adjustable push rods as well as the adjustable push rod covers - lol -

Other news - the air filter used on the red bike did produce a noticeable difference in linear power and the red/black bike is now again too damn close to the black bike - there is a difference but its now a lot closer - even airflow is now maximized through the rpm range making the zip much quicker still - can't be too lean though - no popping out the back and the air screw is still the same.
