in terms of added horsepower on a raptor 660? am I missing anything to help with reliability?
what is the best bang for the buck on motor work for added horsepower?

Depends on the $ you want to spend...There are several variations...Keep in mind (IMO) a low compression build will last alot longer.

What do you guys consider high compression? Ive been running a 11:1 wiseco for a year now with NO problems.
Best bang for the buck would be doing the work yourself and sending the head for porting.

I've got just a tiny bit more than 2 grand in mine and I am putting out 59.8 h.p. It's a 10.75 to 1 piston on 87 octane pump gas.
