There is a dyno chart around somewhere.See if I still have it.They are decent but well below the V2 setup at high rpm if I remember correctly.Would be an improvement over stock for sure.Decent deals on used V2,s come up on ebay once in awhile.Bought mine for $75 off there.

Yeah love to dyno reeds ( V-2 V-3 Carbon Tech Modified OEM Cage) to compare, Just too expensive for my blood to track what few HP differences between them.

Surprised Hall or Matt has'nt tested different reeds with there pipes?

Post also said Ignore the dyno's label it really is a Vforce 3, DIR G3, FMF Ram Valve, Pyramid Reed Cage and CarbonTec reeds.

Pretty sure this was posted on planet sand originally but won,t say for sure.Not sure how valid or accurate the results are so take it with a grain of salt.

Just thought it was interesting and maybe useful to someone.

We could send our reeds to  P*DP and talk him into dynoing it while he is doing his pipe testing. Lol  P*

Id do that for yall. I got the mossbarger, probably gonna get a stock cage with boyessen petals on it for myself. So if someone wants me to run anything else let me know.
Down the road Ill get me some VF2 but probably not before the pipe testing.

I have a friend who will do custom sand casting/forging,,,,

I'm gunna get him to do me a intake manifold for my Tri-Z that's angled back to the center. With the powervalved cylinder it kicks the carb back to the left and just about puts the boot on the stinger.
