11:1 is prolly the best unless ur looking to run race fuel. then u could go as high as u want


make sure u get heavey duty studs

i would go 11:1 and no higher. those engines are just not built to be that fast. if you want faster then buying a new quad is the way to go.. i built my 400 up and now wish i would have just sold it and bought the 450r. i have had no problems with my 426 11:1 yet but i still get worried everytime i go out about blowing a head gasket

You don't need HD studs.
