would a boost bottle help? I understand the theory behind how they work. and there advertised to increase torque, but would it really help?

I don't even know what a boost bottle is.... but I hope you'll report how this project works out. I'm really interested, I just might do the same thing. :)
boost bottle is a bottle that has the same volume ( within 2cc ) of the engine size.. a 2 stroke makes compression on the down stroke also, and when the compression is made a 'wall of air' is created obstructing the intake mix a bit on the up stroke. the boost bottle is mounted above the carb/ intake and the fitting is threadded right into the intake.. when the compression air comes out, it has a place to go and it smooths out the mixture.... this is all theory that goes behind them anyway.. weather or not there are true gains IDK...Quote:

here is the bike sort of finished.. it's all done now ( needs tweaking ) but this pic doesn't have the chain shortened, clutch hooked up or tensioner installed.. still needs the tensioner modefied.. the rear chain stays angle in where the tensioner goes, so I have to twist the tensioner to accomadate that.. pulls the chain off the way it is.
