Any chance one of you guys will be around next week? I'll be up in lake st Clair (chesterfield) area next week visiting family and would love to check one out in person. I'll be towing my sxr up as well if you Detroit guys want to get a ride in.

What mods, what pump?

 

[Tpete115]

Stock pump, 12/18 solas swirl, stub pump cone. Factory pipe, msd enhancer, Ada girdled head, mikuni 44's

Get a Hooker 9/15 and a pump stuffer, it will wake it up. I was running a Hooker 10/16 and R&D stuffer, it made a major difference in my "snap". I had a Skat 9/17 in it before that, and the 10/16 pulled quite a bit harder.

Edit: My ski is a SP 750 with case porting, freeride cylinder porting done by Newmiller Machine, PJS old school high comp head, SXR carbs (stock air cleaner), PJS reed stuffers on stock reeds, SXR wet pipe (bored manifold and head pipe), lightened stock flywheel, MSD enhancer.

Was wondering what you're running for pumps. Anyone running a solas 12 vein 140mm. Found one for a decent price and wondered if anyone was running one on a q8.

Skat mag 142mm was the norm when I had mine

Couple buddies had their housings bored to 145mm with good success

 

[N3vrSat1sfied]

145 skat mag is the normal for Q8's. Bigger in Aerial's

 

[SpaceCowboy]

There is a nice aerial 8 in the for sale section...someone buys that and my pump will be for sale
