general speed up parts should be your best bet. easier and cheaper to find than bigger things. But it all depends on your budget.. good luck!

What year is yours again? '87?

Get with Diolijah about parts for that. There are oversize jugs and pipes available for the '87 - 93 Elites. I'd be tempted to do a jug/variator/exhaust upgrade.

We should get a list of parts together available for these Elites and get it posted.

mine is an 89. the probllem i am running into is it is an sb model. no variator. almost the same as the spree. they dont sell parts for it. only sa+se.

Does the SB exhaust out the front (like Spree) or out the side corner (like the 87-93 Elite?)

Ony one problem with thr pre 94 elites is they don't make final drive ratios along with the aeros. i can still get an 8 to 1 ratio for the aero but its not cheap and its the last one, an engine swap to the sa50 is the best way to gain speed cuz they have tons of parts for this engine and a basic stage one requires a 9 to 1 ratio among other tricks :lol:

exits out the front. like the spree.

Does the jug look identical to the Spree? The Spree has a tiny exhaust port (squished.) Sounds like the SB-50 is basically another Spree. I've never seen one.

If it has the big pulley, I'd try to fit up an Aero variator to it (if it'll fit.) That would get you top end and launch. We've talked about doing this before. PM me and we'll see if it can work. I have an '85 Aero variator on the shelf I can measure.

from what i can see the jug looks similar. i will pull the side cover today and measure the shaft.

thanks noiseguy.

Yes, you definitely marked it
