Bit the bullet and have decided to send the new engine up to Revolution Racing in Cumbria to have it gas flowed, ported and cams re profiled like the old engine but no HC pistons this time. Engines all wrapped up ready to be picked up. When its done il be going back to OEM airbox but with filter mods and still use the high flow snorkel. Also recieved my Factory Pro shift star kit to fit. Started to tidy up the underseat wiring that was a shit hole for so long and have secured the ECU and PC from bouncing around! Next is to clean up the swinging arm and rear shock, rear sets etc.

no i couldn't :lol: but with no over high compression pistons it should run better, the Wiseco's didn't do me any favours.
