Hey all you 440 guys I need your opinions.
I have a bone stock 2002 400EX with a e-series slip-on, I have decided to do a 440 over a 426 strictly from a power standpoint. I race in the desert here in sunny Arizona where it is 4 feet from hell! It gets hot here obviously so please take that into consideration with your recommendations. Here goes the questions!
Which..
1. piston brand and compression ratio, I'm not afraid to use race gas!
2. sleeve brand
3. cam brand (Web cams or Hot cams, I do realize the differences!)
4. what timing chain upgrade
5. which gasket maker, looked at cosmetic(?)
6. exhaust system
7. Will be doing porting and polishing of head too!
8. considering bigger valves, (Kibble White, yes, no?) and springs.
9. Already have a 450R carb just waiting!!!
10. oil cooling upgrades?
I know I'll need the bigger heavy duty head studs!
Send me what you've got I'm totally open to suggestions!!
Thanks
