My wife gets home and tells me ". . . oh, by the way you got this package earlier"

So I got some stuff . . . Wiseco forged piston w/ circlips, pin, wrist pin bearing . . . from USPS.

Then I look on the porch a little while ago and there sits a box - it's the rev pipe!! The diam on the expansion chamber is impressive. Can't wait to hear and feel it.

I pickup the top end gasket set tomorrow at, gulp, a Honda shop. They're the go-to guys for Moose Racing products. BTW got the kit with the thinner base gasket - a bit more compression so they say. Any experiences?

That is Christmas! :supz:

I think it will be hard to tell if you have more compression after changing to the Wiseco and installing the REV.

If you want to feel a difference in the compression.... Have the head RB'D :wink:

Anyone gonna disagree with me????? Hello???? :lol:

Like Vince said, don't screw around with gasket thickness. Get Ron to rework your head. Do the carb too. The 220 is a puss without the compression bumped up.

Yeah, I agree with the comments on getting the RB mods. 'Just thought it would be a step in the right direction. I'm gonna go with both head + carb mod next spring. I'm going to start tooling with suspension this winter - the pipe and airbox mods are starting points.
