212cc Predator Experiment - Performance Build

[TheNecromancer13]

So I'm thinking about building up a 212cc predator engine with the goal of getting as much power as possible on a $1,000 budget, not including the stock engine or a bike to put it on, as I have both of those already. The end goal would be to race it in the unlimited class at one of the SoCal MB races. Since I'm on a budget (albeit a large one) what mods do you guys think would give me the most bang for the buck?

Are you on Facebook?
#3 which is the UnLimited class bike to beat makes about 20 HP
Does your $1000 include the $200 or more clutch?
What frame are you using?

Not including the clutch. What clutch would you recommend? Probably going to use my trek 820 frame which currently has a 79cc predator mounted (bike in my profile pic). I am TJ Lavelle on facebook, I'm already in the SoCal group. Also, I doubt I will win unlimited my first try, I just want to race in that class.

The 212cc is BIG. I have a hard time calling the finished project a bike.

He said his goal was to race it in the Unlimited class at a Socal Motor Bicycle Racing event so your opinion about it uncalled for.
The 212's we race are definitely more bicycle than motorcycle.
100 lbs with 20 HP on bicycle tires.

Hey nobody is racing a CVT at Socal Motor Bicycle Racing in UnLimited class
because they blow up on over 15 HP motors and the fastest 212s are 20 HP.

Read in the first post that the end goal would be to race it in the unlimited class at
one of the SoCal MB races.

no, it's the worst. Bruh please you still have the governor installed. My 212s don't even make it to the bike without getting the governor gear and sensor removed. If you are ok with the power loss and the loud clanging noise, then how have you solved the blowing driver springs problem?
