what do u guys think about this? i would be using it for MX. i saw an ad in dirtwheels and its 800$.. is it worth it? would i be able to compete with the 450's? and what about reliability?

wat does it include for 800?if it is true im going to order that instead of the LRD460 for 1100 suttin

its an awesome kit and worth the money. just buy it, you'll be happy.

i send them my motor right? are there any additional charges? chad, how does ur 502 compare with 450s?

[chad502ex]

honestly, my 502 will whip any stock 450 (yami and trx) with pipe and cam but when the 450 gets hi-comp piston, the 450 hp/weight ratio starts to pull top. I'd tell ya the trick is to short shift on the 502 cause the torque puts me out far enough that the 450's can't catch up. Torque wins races unless you have enough runway that hp is up to speed.

hope this helps.

just buy his kit, you'll love it.

you have to stroke the crank so you have to take it out of the motor. and the 800$ includes piston, sleeve, stroker crank w/ rod and head gasket.

It does not include labour or anything. For 800$ he just sends you the parts and you have to asenble the motor back. For him to assemble it is alot more$$$.

does FST have a website that i can look at this 500 kit???

[44oEX]

no they don't but there is really nothing to look at it's just a piston ,sleeve and crank

[bdrue]

do they have a phone number or some why of finding out how much it will all cost?

[44oEX]

I don't know the number but you can check old dirt wheels I know it's in there some where. or do a search it's ben posted a couple time

is there any reliability problems?

[44oEX]

So far the only problem I have is that it is pulling out the studs. Witch happen on 416 aqnd 440 so it's normal just get the FDO studs for like 70$:huh :mad:
