Boost bottles are garbage. I would recommend porting the motor before adding a reed. Im not sure if you would notice a difference on a stock motor. Other than a good pipe there really is no bolt on hp.

I've ran a boost bottle for a while and think they look cool and give people something to chat about but if they give extra performance it is definelty something that is so minimal they are not worth the cost nor hassle.

The Reed blocks from what I have read off other forums don't really do much either as the engine is a piston port motor to start with Not a reed case motor.

OBR offers the bottom end for reed engines also, I think if you go through their engine info and blogs you'll find plenty more info. I've found they are straight up and no BS in my dealings with them.

No boost bottles. Everything I've heard about boost bottles is "snake oil".

Read the OBR engine descriptions, look at the dyno charts, look at the blogs and ask using the contact button if you're not sure about something. Monday to Friday I've always gotten a reply the next business day.

Mods are a matter of personal choice. Only you can make the decision.

I have a Prostroke 30.5 and use it in the Dune Runner. Bashing it's great, on a track it has more power then needed, sand drags, TBD. How would I rate it, 5 out of 5.

Ain't saying that is what I'll have in my upcoming custom sand rig though!
