i am dirt dragging my bike and all the other guys ot there have newer bikes with nitrious but without any motor mods....i was wondering if its worth it to do cam, head, and piston work to try and keep up? or should i upgrade to a efi motor and upgrade that one, jus askin before i start a project....any comments will help thank you.

 

1/10 or 1/8 mile?

 

1/8 mile

 

your gonna spend a lotta $$$ in motor work to try and keep up w/newer bikes

 

yea i figured that a set of cams is $600 springs $200 and valves $200 and for the pistons i think is another $600 ... do you know if i can jus get like a 2008 or somethin and bolt to my bike add nitrious and keep up with them? or if i do all this motor work do you think i can beat them? jus trying to be competive...thanks for any suggestions

 

demon hes askin about 1/8 mile drags (on a closed circuit i presume) not street riding! iceman ur not gonna just bolt a 2008 or something to ur bike without major modification

 

I hope youre right. Street racing is a good way to end up dead.

 

i hear alot of guys putting a 900rr engine in the f3 frame with some new engine mounts and small modding.
that engine adds 30hp and is probably easier and cheaper than rebuilding a stronger carb 600cc.

if you want EFI, i suggest selling your f3 or buying a newer 600cc, although even the 600RR is going to be beat by bigger liter bikes.
All the jazz down here are zx9/10/12r's and they all GO.

Nitrous is expensive, requires extensive timing knowledge and such to make sure you dont blow your engine
Even turbos are (many times) wayy too expensive to put on a 600cc bike. (that and the front wheel never sits)

i would not recommend spending any money on an f3 more than repairs and cosmetics mainly because they arent worth as much as you put in (AKA spending $2,500 in parts to put on a $2,000 bike)

there's always going to be someone with a bigger, faster, more expensive bike.

 

yea i am on a 1/8 dirt drag at a place called slades park in surry, va ....
i appreciate all the help... i hear that guys buying bikes that have a salvage title and all does anyone know how i would find out who is selling salvaged bikes.. yea the bike seems fast if the other guys wasnt running nitrous it would almost be a close race... jus thought if i did all motor upgrades and added nitrious i could do something..maybe i will be looking into getting a different bike and doing all of this....thanks again
