Well if you have an 88" going above 98 will be crank work and above 107" you have to bore the cases. Id stick with 98"s.

This just for starters...

They are in the back seat of my car. Going to see if I can ship them tonight.

Sounds like good advice from a guy who knows such things. Thanks!

No hurry at all on my part Lou. Hell it took me about a year to save up enough for the DD6!

Thanks again!

Id borre to 98". Good bump over 88" and you have a great crank so if you wanted to bump the compression to 10.5 and get a wild cam the motor can handle it!

I don't want to get too crazy with it, just want a bit more power. A lot of guys I know who have gone all in on some of this stuff are always having trouble with them.
