Stock 95mm bore with new Falicon crank= 449cc
450 kit piston (97mm) with Falicon= 469cc
460 kit piston (98mm) with Falicon= 478cc (your 480)
Other possibilties with a little longer stroke = 497cc
(Very possible)

on the old 454 Drag bike.. http://www.motoxstation.com/news_July01.htm.
hears what it says...
"(7/10/01) As part of our never-ending testing program, Cannondale has been taking their ATVs to area dirt drag strips to find out how well they'll stack up against the competition. A few weeks back, for example, Cannondale took a totally stock machine to the New Paris, Pennsylvania track where test rider Andy Zeth and his Cannondale won both the 500 and 700cc classes on the 1/8th mile course."
" This past weekend, Cannondale brought Andy and a slightly modified Cannibal to the Blair-Bedford track. The Cannibal had been adapted to a 454 bore with a 13.8 compression ratio, and lowered the ride height a bit. Other than that, the only modification to Andy??????????????????s Cannibal was the addition of a wheelie bar that was designed by Brian Dively, fabricated by Dave Fleegle, and welded by Yvette Hahn, all of whom work at the Bedford, Pennsylvania motorcycle plant. "
"Going head-to-head with the Cannibal were several heavily modified Honda 400EXs, Yamaha Raptor 660s, and DS650 Bombardiers. So how did the Cannondale do? The Cannibal beat everything in the 700cc class, covering the 500 foot course in a blistering 7.6 seconds and hitting 72 miles-per-hour!"..
They have a pic of the bike.....Cool Beans...
