yes it will...as long as the right fuel is ran...while you have your engine apart you might as well get the head ported too!!! give Doug nicholas a call...i have his head porting and it flows really well!!! Web site here!!

How reliable are the high comp pistons for the pred? My buddy just ordered one(not sure what compresion or brand) and he runs his bike hard, just curious if it'll blow easy.

You can contact HPD, they have the direct engine dyno, and they can give you the numbers. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

They will run like crap on low test...you will have to use 93 or better or run octane booster.

With 12.5:1 compression, you'll have to mix premium fuel(91 or 92) with race gas(110), or just run stait race gas, or c12.........
