fI realize this is not the 300 section, but i'm sure many of us started on this classic so looking for thoughts here.
I have a 1996 300ex, 99% original with a fmf powercore and K&N. First quad i rode and man i can remember loving that little thing.
Guess that's why i kinda got a fire under my *** to just go all out on it to see what it's cabable of. Looking at the Sparks kit off and on here for the last 2 weeks or so. Includes a 14:1, their full on race X-4 cam and all other top end components.
Anyone used to ride a blown out 330? I dont expect it to be near what i have currently, but as i said i loved this thing!
What kind of horsepower and speed caould i get out of it? I know it's alot of cash and could probably buy 4 300's for what i'm willing to put into this one, but i sure would like to have a "sleeper" and then embarrass some 400 or posibly novice 450 riders.
I assume heat will be a huge issue with this little thing so i would be looking into adding or making an oil cooler. Can anyone remember back that far and share some thoughts/opinions on how these used to run? Thanks.
