RAISE IT

[stroking]

 OK, lets say that i took a stock cylinder and decked it .030 then put a .040 base gaskets under and it came out with a .050 squish what would that do for power increase ?

 

 

 

 

would i lose bottom and gain top being that i raised the ports up ?

I am not real sure you would actually gain power, very little if any. Infact, if you don't pay attention to the relation between the piston and the ports them selves there is potential to really kill the power. However, I definitley think it would up the rpm range in wich the bike makes it's power due to increased durations.

the gains would likely be minimal, and maybe only raise the curve a little. imho, it's not worth ruining a set of cylinders to find out. now, you can mill the head extra, and run a thicker base gasket if you care to find out. same affect, and a new head could be had as little as $10
