Anyone familiar with the pro circuit pipes for the 87-92 LT250's?What type of powerband do they have?

Any news on when we're going to hear more on the HPR250 pipe?

Pipe development on the 250 has stopped since I have been working by myself and will resume when I get some good helpers. I need someone that has good mechanical skills, machine shop skills, and welding skills that wants to take those skills to a higher level and can go 8 hours without looking at, texting or talking on their phone.
This type of work requires 110% concentration. Any distraction can cause a mistake at any point in a job and waste thousands of dollars in parts and labor. Guys that think they can multitask on this kind of stuff only are fooling themselves.
I work for a lot of other business owners that are also seeing this new addiction epidemic (cell phones/smart phones) in their work place and are starting to make workers check in their phones at the door or leave them in the car.
Automobile fatalities and injuries due to cell phone impairment has now exceeded fatalities and injuries due to impairment due to alcohol and drug use while driving. What employer allows workers to come to work drunk or high? Employers have begun watching their employees with this new addiction to cell phone and tracking the amount of time employees are steeling from them while they are on the clock and the mistakes employees are making due to the constant distraction these great little high-tech tools are causing.
Are there any guys in the Phoenix area that have the aptitude and required skills that are not addicted to their smart phone and want to do this type of work on a part time or full time basis?

Bummer. I guess I'll go with the shearer pipe as long as he's still building them. I'd be all over that job if I lived near Phoenix. I'm only 25 and people look at me like I'm nuts when I break out a flip phone to actually make a call with it.

Best Pipes for the LT are based on Port/Head configuration Carb and "USE", for my engines Dynoport (avail new) and FTZ ( non current) are the go to depending on setup. If you can find an LRD or PSI there good also. If you would like a Shearer/Q I have one available.

I ordered one from Shearer a couple of days ago. If I like how it works with my porting I might need a spare...
Did the Shearer pipe just not give you the power band you were looking for or was there something else?

On the track, I noticed a issue coming off turns rolling the throttle on, id have to feather the clutch to get it "back on the pipe". Over a season at the track I tried different PV settings, porting, head and timing never went away. Went to a Dyno and confirmed my suspicion. Made about 20 runs on dyno with one particular cylinder head I really like tried jetting and PV to take it out and did not work.
Immediately swapped to a FTZ pipe similar curve, just had to reset the pv to take a small variation out.
Then went to the Dynoport pipe more Tq and Hp but no over rev, just have to gear a little taller and shift earlier.
Was hoping to see a new Pipe from HAll's to try but he is just backed up working alone.
I've talked to Dynoport and there's a good possibility we will do a new Pipe to work with my bigger Small Block engines and ill see if does anything for the 265. I think there's some more hiding in the pipe's and I know there's a little left in the porting, just have to go after it.

I recently dyno tested AAEN new design and it did excellent against the pipe I tested against ... it pulls just as hard as any other pipe but has enough over rev to allow you to actually use the hp/tq it makes. Idk when Olav plans to start building them as I have to bring my machine back across the lake for the fixture process...

Good stuff Mr S.......I have the current Aaen and while I like it I've been told it's not a great pipe.I haven't run any of the newer pipes though.Shearer,dynoport,etc so if Aaen does start producing a new one with good reviews I'll likely be giving him a call.

I know a lot of people might scoff at this, but I have an fmf and I think it works pretty damn good. I got it because I didn't want to drop $800 at the time for a Shearer, and I'm impressed. I don't have a lot done to my engine, just the pipe and a RAD valve. Otherwise everything else is stock. For a 250 the LT hauls the mail, and I have modded Tecates, a Tri-Z, and 250R to compare it to. I guess it is a testament to how good the LT engine it--it's an underrated machine. I'm not saying the fmf is the best pipe out there, I'm just saying it is more of a performer than I expected. Pretty good results for $300.

Mine performed fine with the FMF that came on it for a long time. But my issue with it was the powerband it created. The specialized riding I do requires a pipe which can have the throttle chopped (to maneuver or climb over obstacles) and then be able to get back on the pipe (while under load) to finish my climb. If all I did was ride on dirt I probably never would have been unhappy enough with the power the FMF pipe gave me, to go looking for other options.

Ok I never ended up ordering the shearer pipe. I was waiting for HPR to test and release their pipe, but it looks like they are still holding off. After reading the dyno results between the shearer and dynoport, its clear the Dynoport makes more usable power, and has higher peak numbers.

Kenny Roberts, pipe builder, 1-(909)-821-7125——— charges $600.00 for him to hand make and weld and hammer smooth! Chroming is extra if he even offers it. I’m saving up to have him build one for my 85’!

Anything new on 250 pipes?

Kenny Roberts can make us 85’ & 86’ LT250R owners a custom hand cones and hammered welded pipe like the other models, we just need a donor 85’ or 86’ quad to use for figment and designing. He located in So Cal. Any offers to lend him the quad would be greatly apppreciated

Anyone know the difference between the Dyno port big volume pipe and mid-high pipe?Also the difference in the silencers for the big volume pipe???Differences in price between the big volume pipe depending on the silencer used...Also would the silencer I have (fits,old style Aaen,stock,fmf,etc or do you need the dynoport silencer.
Time for me to try one of the "newer" pipes and see how it runs.

I assume this is the dyno session you posted about?
