what sort of power can i expect?
what future mods could i do not going silly and giving me reliability problems?

i think performence wise u'll get about 110-120bhp?

i wouldnt bother with other mods if i was u it will become unreliable! keep it as it is but maybe in the future got for a offset dish piston

Ditch the standard cam straight away..

5mm pistons?? I presume he means 5cc? Which doesn't sound much..

Ben... yer what?

Just restore to former glory will have a figure of about 100bhp...

You can get OVER 200 bhp with these little beasts, but if you like changing gearboxes, then go for it...

As anything over 120bhp, will put excess stress onto the box... well not bhp, but the torque will.

thanks, i plan on changing the cam in the winter when it come off the riad again and just run it in this summer......other than that prob just keep it as it is if you think it will become to unreliable

thanks guys
