The bigger the bore, the more power you will have,

but the limitations come into play. You can always have a sleeve installed, works fine if done right. Sonic checking will cost almost as much. You can pretty safely go .030 over if the bores clean up. I never soniced them years ago, neither did anybody else, as H/M was about the only pace you could get it done. I went .080 and grenaded a few, and #4 seemed to be the leader in this catagory for some strange reasons that I kick around to this day. These were in some extreme conditions though, that I doubt you will duplicate (short track dirt) with a street car. One went six years, and when I mic'd the cylinder wall, it was under .090. All seem to crack at the bottom of the cylinders (on the ones that split and got a sleeve) and migrate upwards. There were plenty that survived too. You will gain some free power by putting notches in the top of the deck if you want to do a little grinder work to make up for the smaller bore.
This thread, so far...
