Power Notice?

Will i feel much power increase going to a stock size 11:1 and stg 1 hot cam? or should i bore it and go stg 2?
Thanks

you should definitely feel a bit more power. just make sure you hone it before you put the new piston in. it will not seat right if you dont do it before hand. it should be nice though and have a lot of low end. steve

How do i know what piston size i need when i get it honed?

[honda400ex2003]

the stock bore is an 85mm. it should be able to be honed a very little bit without new rings. I would talk to someone who hones and bores and ask them. you could get some oversize rings for a stock piston that are only 85.5mm instead of going to an 86mm. that would be a 406 which would not be bad either. you have the full exhaust so the stage 1 would go good with the top of the pipe. steve

you should check out the e85 thread there looks to be a bunch of good info in it. you probably already did, that is why you are thinking about it, lol, steve:blah:
