What components are good for producing torque. I know that increasing compression is particularly good for torque, but what about cam, header, muffler, carb, porting, etc?

The reason I ask is that I do a lot of trail riding at Veterans Bridge and those are very narrow, twisty, trails.

PS How does a full big gun exhaust compare to the sparks X6?
PSS Does running racing fuel help with cooling a lubrication? The Honda 400EX gets hot quickly

Thanks

well stroking you motor is the best for torque. and racing fuel will cool it down but if you don't have hi-comp piston you won't get more power just waste your money just get a second oil cooler

the big gun and sparks are very different. the big gun will have great torque but suffer elsewhere. the sparks is for high powered motors or high revving motors. this doesn't have great low end power. i can tell you the sparks x-4 does produce great power, everywhere.
