only drawback to having packard do it is his turn around time was alittle slow....i think he has alot of high roller customers that he builds $20,000 banshees for, so the little guy with cr500 kind gets put on the back burner so to speak, atleast that was my experience but hes a hell of a nice guy and always seemed helpful on the phone. the reason he needs the whole motor is because he puts degree wheel on it and measures everything out to his exact specifications. UPP makes the manifold but im not sure if they have any angled ones right now, but they have straight oneslunatic wrote:Called packard and he said the 48 lectron on a rino or ds650 is the same carb we 2 stroke guys use just a different needle. They are straight bored and he recommended a 48hv with dual power jets for $385. He also said UPP makes a intake for the 48 carbs.
Also he said 95hp with his porting and pipe and he wanted $350 to port the cylinder but wants the whole motor to just port the cylinder? Very cool guy to talk to and he sounds like he knows his $hit.
but i would be happy if mine does somewhere even remotely close to that neighborhood (i thought about bolting it to the work bench and letting it rip just to see what happens
