you can get a wiseco 11:1 big bore kit off ebay that comes with the sleeve, piston and rings, a hot cam and the top end gaskets for around $300-350. it will cost you around $80 to have the jug bored and the bigger sleeve installed. if you dont do the tear down and rebuild yourself then thats probably gonna run another $400 or so in labor. get a manual and do the tear down and rebuild your self and it will save you a lot oif money.
they have 440 kits on ebay for $200 that is the piston, sleeve and gaskets only. dont get this unless you already have a aftermarket cam. you need a good cam to make the 440 worth the trouble.

beware of buying bigbore kits and the like off ebay. I have been scammed as well as a couple of my friends. I ordered a big bore kit and they sent me the wrong sleeve with it and when i tried to get it fixed the guy basically told be tough ----. a friend bought a stage 2 hotcam off ebay and it was just a stock cam in a hotcams box. Be safe and call C&D. Thats way you'll know what your paying for.

My brother bought a piston for his blaster on ebay from a guy that sells a lot of new pistons. When he got it he noticed it was slightly out of round. We were heading to the dunes the next day so he threw it in anyway and it didn't even last 1 hour. I wonder if there is a black market for parts that get pulled from the defect bin at some of the manufactures facilities.. maybe someone on the inside.
