import racer dyno......
they dyno'ed an xB with magnaflow exhaust first. the baseline with the exhaust was 102 hp, and 101 tq i think. then they put on the AEM intake and the DC header. after both of those, it ended up at 105hp and 103 tq. bleh.

For N/A there are other ways to go. Of course I would start with bolt-ons first, but they aren't going to do a whole lot for an internally stock engine. The engine already has 10.5:1 compression. If you were to mill the head enough to achieve 11.5:1 compression, and have your stock cam reground to a more aggressive profile, I'm sure power througout the rev range. mmmmm I'm thinking about some GSX-R Suzuki individual throttle bodies. That would be nice, and I bet the addition of a lightened flywheel would really make this small engine come to life.

but the smaller displacement already making 108HP means it will take quite a bit to get any decent gains.
anyone pull the head and port/flowmatch yet?

I would like to, but I'm waiting to crack the engine open after the warranty is done. I'm sure a good valve job and cleaning up the ports a little bit would free up some power. I'm curious to see the quality of the casting of the head.
Any pics of the rotating parts?
