    So I might have a lil extra cash soon and have been kicking around the idea of the 1190 big bore kit. Anyone done it? Any thoughts yall?

    Is your idea for a bigger bore or a longer stroke?

    Is there a vendor offering that, or would you do it yourself?

    Deanh8 is the username over there. No, it's not me.

    +30 hp over what he started with, but it's also adding a full race exhaust in the mix, so it's not apples to apples for comparison. At any rate, he's making 150 hp at the wheel now and says it's hard to launch.

    I'm not that concerned with the launch, I want the 3rd & 4th gear torque range to feel more like second while still keeping the belt drive. Also, I've got to tear down and adjust the valves this fall so why not have my own 1190 for the price of a blast
