heres a link to ice cube kits www.maxpower-engines.com theyre pretty pricey but if you got the money them would be sweet!!! and you could get a +3mm stroker crank for $359 or less if you look around,you can get high compression piston for around $300 or less,get your carb bored,port n polish is around $500ish for a good job,you can get your head re-done,the options are realy endless but if you do one thing big on it then you gota do other things right away to get the full potential outa it.oh and one other thing id do is switch to a dasa just my opinion...

I'd say Cam and Piston next.
Then porting and bored FCR carb.
Save the BB kits and Strokers for last, they will give the best gains once the other mods are done.

Well for the kit u'd have to buy a new piston anyway. And no point in getting a BB kit if your going to leave the stock cam.
So really just getting a cam and piston is cheaper then the BB kit.

imo bb kits really are worth much more then just putting a high comp piston, and cam in a stock motor. ive raced plenty of open classes with some 480s, and with my motor being stock other then a piston and cam, id pull holeshots on them(not everlong stretches), id just put the money into getting a piston, good cam, and find a good port job- and if you do go with a port job run the exhaust they reccomend more then likely thats what exhaust theyve tested their work with

nice quad btw like to see something different every once in a while

yeh like i said , i wont be racing much , i was racing amature , but i will only hit the track maybe 3 times this year .... so its not worth investing a ton if money into it , maybe $800 at the most into my motor
