I wanted to share my idea for my 416 kit with you and I wanted to hear your commments and opinions. Tell me what you think and If its a good idea....
1. JE/Ross 416 piston kit
2. new cam
3. hardened rockers
4. stiffer valve springs with titanium retainers
5. larger intake valves
6. lowered valve guides
7. some sort of gasket kit( regular or steel flex)
8. port and polish job
9. Maybe a FCR39mm carb ( money pending )
10. heavy duty timing chain ( money pending )
11. heavy duty clutch springs ( money pending )
* I was told by a few engine builders and a few local pros that investing in a "drop-in" cam is wasting your money. They told me that if Im gonna go all out buying a cam that requires hardened rockers and stiffer valves is the way to go and I will notice a larger power difference than a cam that requires OEM hardware. I get beat by 440's, CRF's, raptors, etc all b/c I am the only kid that races my class with a stock motor.:( I want something to build up my motor where i wont lose any reliability and i will have a lot more power. Any help or advice you can give me is appreciated.:D
