Re: Evo performance upgrade

As well as the above getting the heads skimmed to increase the compression ratio plus a Good! 3 angle valve seat job will make an evo go like stink, & still be reliable, if you decide to change the heads look at the S&S heads they do for 80" street motors they already have all the mods & are very reasonably priced, I'll also reccomend Matts, very helpfull.

I am glad somebody can recommend him, I wouldn't and neither would a very good mate of mine who had some work done there recently

points ignition - no rev limiter and better advance curve than standard
mikuni or S&S carb
decent 2 into 1 exhaust system
EV27 EV3 or EV35 cam or somthing very similar
free flowing airfilter

and if you want to spend a little more money get your heads flowed, 5 angle valve gring and shave about 50 thou off them to up the compression

its not rocket science, the motor is basically an air pump the more air you can pump in and out the more power you make

I posted that nearly two years ago.

I'll still stand by what I posted. I have had nothing but good service and good results from Matt and I am happy to recommend him. Everywhere will have its supporters and detractors.
