race ported 30.5 vs reed valve 30,5

[john addinall]

hi all.
hi gents. are the reed valve motors so much stronger than the normal intake motors? is it worth the extra amount of money? how much more torque and hp do you get from a reed valve 30,5 vs a full race 30,5 barrel intake zenoah?
thanks

The reeds will rev higher than a piston port motors. I'm not sure what the torque gains are as I've never owned one but can tell you they are faster but not by a huge amount.

Install a 10,000 rpm clutch spring on a reed motor and the bottom end will stay snappy.
