i am going to start racing next year but i do alot of woods riding and ice riding. i am thinking of either going with a IMS 440 kit with either the 11:1 or the 10:8 compression or getting a 426 kit and either going the same compressions can't deside yet on compression . i would really like to run high octan pumped gas. and i do not want to over heat all the time or have to worry much about reliability that often but i do want alof of poer becasue i ride with raptor and i owuld lie to beat them. my buddy has a 440ex but he has to run race gas i thinkg it is 11:1 with a web cam but wow that thing huals a**. i was thinkg either a hot cam stage 1 or 2 . can you point me in the right drection.

A 416 Kit is an easy and cheap way to do a build. It is without doubt the least expensive horsepower. However, If you do a 440 Kit with a web-cam, correct head work and a 11:1 or something within that range you will certainly have a motor which is more "massive" if done correctly..

It's all in what you want to spend. You can also get a screamer out of a 416 with high compression. Again, it's all in the money spent.

If you wanna be the man, then step up! work a few extra hours and go first class....how many times have you heard someone say,

" man, my quad is so fast I beat everybody, but race gas is a ******. I really should have saved my money and been happy with 2nd place....or maybe 3rd in the pack" :macho
