well i figure with the mods i've done to the motor it's around 55 horse at the crank.give or take a couple.
mods include:
kx powervalves
porting and .20 off the head
lightened wiseco with teflon plating on the skirt and this real trick coating on the head of the piston.
v-force reed cage
39 mm carb
pvl ignition
sprock pipe ,carbon fiber answer silencer. thats it.
but now it has a super hard hitting midrange and a screaming topend.

yes those are the herrmann a-arms.they are very nice pieces,but i'm afraid we will have to send them back for a few mods to them cause they are not quite what i want yet. but they are sstill very trick arms. yes they are +3 +1

I agree with them, maybe you should just leave it in your garage on blocks for all guests to see. Ah, what fun would that be. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Nice ride. Mine is coming along, I just need to go through the motor. When I bought it, it was on a fresh rebuilt but the jetting I believe was the problem. Anyway, who done your port work Sprock? How do you like the new carb? Also dose the Sprock pipe rub at all with the plastic? Also, have you delt with Sprock Racing much, I would like to have some port work done and maybe a big bore kit from them, but I have tried to call a few times and there was no answer. One last thing, the KX Power valves, are they really better than stock, and what if any mods need to fit them in.

no sprock didn't do any of my motor work, i do it all myself.i blue print it out and map the ports and figure out where i want my powerband and how much i want ,then i raise and lower the ports accordingly.
i talk to corey at sprock racing almost everyday.he's a guy. and i'm sure his motor work is up to par with anyone elses.
the sprock pipe fits better then the original,and no rubbing anywhere.
the new carb works great big difference.
and the kx powervalves are much better flowing then the stock tecate ones.there is absolutely nothing you have to do to put them in.they fit just like the stock ones do .or you can modify your stock ones toi be the same as the kx ones.
