The several times I have spoken to Tim we have discussed both options. I have plenty of time to decide, but Im leaning towards the stock crank option. I just think it would better suit my needs. I want to be able to use the full potential of the motor. I rode a lagaer LT500 for several years and thats all I did with it, just lug it around. The motor was a little much for just about every track I went to. As far as MX is concearned. I think the stock crank and big-bore would be my best option.

We need to get one of those 450 bore/ported engines on the dyno and settle this. Id really like to see the torque curve. Ive built both engines in question and I cant really tell the difference .They both wanted to pull my arms off. You guys are getting so spoiled nowadays. Someday I to will have a one of my own.
i used to ride crotch rockets in my teens and early twenties. mid twenties i bought my first harley which was modded out a bit and has some yank. since then i have been addicted to torque. the torque makes me a "lazy" rider. i let the engine do the work and i don't pay attention to keeping the revs in the powerband. that's why i had the dale bored and stroked. the stroke makes such a HUGE usable difference. the tld pred i rode this weekend had to be kept up in the revs to notice any power at all. ****, when it was reving to the moon, it fealt just like riding a z400.
having the torque is key. that's why i like 502 big blocks and such.
