additional mods

[awaitedshee]

ok im on sort of a budget and cant go all out but since my heads are goin to herr jugs i wanna know what all else to do to accent the mx port job that will be gettin done... for good low and mid power im choosing the dmc aliens and removing tors and puttin on clamp ons, advancing the timing 4 degrees, millin the stock head down .30 to .40 (whichever would be best on 93 octane) it already has the vforce 2 reed system... anything im leaving out so far without goin too drastic just yet? this is gonna see alot of mx time so input is appreciated

and should i have the pistons cut and lightened too? or will that decrease durability? and also doing the worm holes? i need info on these if they are worth it and if i should do them thanks

no for an mx bike you want the extra wieght on the flywheel and the "wormholes" are more of a drag porting. Good pipes to match the port work, and some carbs and intake as well. get a coolhead or shave the stocker, maybe do a 4mil crank unless you cant have a stroker in races, more then anything you need a good suspension!

With mx its suspension before power in my opinion. Since you've got the motor almost done if you can spare the cash try and pick up a single carb setup to get even more low end grunt.

so are the dmc aliens good pipes to use for mx? i sent a paper to kevin herr of all the mods i was havin on my shee.... and about the milling whats the safe milling?

[Bansh-eman]

yea they arent bad, i like paul turner pipes for that riding my self

so could i mill the head .040 and also advance the timing 4 degrees and still run 93 octane?
