Hey guys,
I know this horse has been beat to death, but I got a little different spin on it this time.
My 99 400ex is in despeate need of more HP. It runs fine, no smoke or blow by. Last time I checked the compression it was around 118 psi, last year.
My question is, would you or would you not bore it to a 416 if it didn't need it? I know the only difference in price with the kits is the bore job, so money really ins't an issue here.
I want to keep as many bores as possible, preventing premature re-sleeving. So, if all she needs is a hone, who says just drop in a hi comp standard bore and who says go ALL THE WAY with a 416?
(I will be adding a hotcams stage 2 also reguardless if I bore it or not, possibly a 39fcr)
Thanks for your views on this,
Glamis
