maybe a stock bore 11:1 piston, stage 1 cam(that way you don't have to switch valve springs), and get it ported and polished. that would give you some good power.

You got some options Big Scary.......690....727....730.....770....take your pick.

You can also get a new cdi box and get another 1000rpm's.

I don't know if I want to go bigger.........I would really like to still be able to trail ride it.......
yah know?

and I don't think that I would gain anything from that high rev CDI cause I never hit the limiter......??

if you just want a lil more umph......then I would get a stock bore piston 11:1 prolly........
and if you get it from Bob at Magnolia tractor.......you will spend 130 TOPS on the piston and prolly 3 bucks on the gaskets......
and if you do the work yourself.......that is some pretty cheap HP........if you are tight on money run the stock cam for a while........
it is nothing to change a cam........if you find yourself wanting a lil more on top..........I would get a stage 2 hotcam and springs later on down the road.......I would completely bypass the stage one.......people say that you lose bottom end with the stage 2 cam?.......well.....I have more bottom end than I need......I don't feel like I lost ANY on the bottom.......
Just my $.02

I barley got 2 years on my stock engine, I am still scarred with what do do to mine, if reliability gets worse, I am in trouble [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]
