My thoughts on this, the x engine already runs 13:1 for compression, id stay away from cutting the head and look a little deeper for bigger gains. Porting these engines works VERY well

Going to get Tom to port my jug's "as soon as I get them out" He was very helpful. I felt very informed and most of all not talked down to due to my stupid ????'s I also orded my V-force reeds from him. Deano670 thanks for your help.

This is a really big part for me when spending my cash. Sometimes I don't have the time to do all the research and crap on why my engine goes fast but I just want to squeeze the trigger and stretch my arms out of my shoulder sockets. I like to be able to rely on a pro for that part without feeling stupid.

Ya I was on the fence about what to do as far as "head" or "Port" but after talking with Deano670 and Tom it was pretty easy decision. I never give $$$$$ to anyone who talks down to me or anyone else, I will drive hafe way across alberta to a shop that cares about there custermors and treats them with respect. Both these guys were very helpful and I'm a perma customer now.

Your right, and I didn't ask for you to jump all over me either for posting an opinion on a public forum.

I ended up learning to port my own engines.

Porting templates - $89
Die grinder and bits - $70
Beer - $20
10 to 12 horses - priceless.

No no dude dont get me wrong here, the only thing missing from your statement was an Alternative with the same quality, craftsmanship and knowledge. Good ISNT CHEAP and CHEAP isnt GOOD. At any rate you are one of very few that have had TEMPLATES work magic. There is alot of time and effort spent in making porting changes that work. its all just my opinion and im not JUMPING on anyone
