Since my heads are going to be coming off to fix the valve guide issue (re. another thread), I'm thinking perhaps there are a couple of things that can be done here...

has anyone fit these FBF high compression pistons?

if so, do you have a Power commander or a DP ECU? Going big bore would be much more costly, and I read is some places that it does sacrifice engine life to a degree... so I think this is a good compromise..

also, has anyone gone with the TPO Beast-R?

based on what they say it seems one could boost the engine by a combined 17hp with these mods, for less than $1K in parts... not too shabby.

if anyone has done either and cares to chime in to share their experience, it would be much appreciated. thanks!

cheers,
D.

i have done a little research, dont have either installed, but the difference between the tpo beast vs the beast-r is the R gets you more top end but sacrifices some of the low end, relative to the beast. my take was that the -R was really meant for track, and that if the majority of your riding was twisties or not on track then you would probably do better with the regular TPO Beast.

good luck!
