The valves are larger than stock. When you are pushing as much boost as the Kenne Belle, it's a good idea to do the internals. No pictures yet because the parts are going in the motors as soon as they arrive. You know how that goes....gotta get it together before the next big race.

Ever Heard of San Mateo? or how about Redwood City? Belmont? Burlingame?

All those are right next to Foster City. The bay bride comes from Hayward to here, Foster City. Were actually pretty small, only about 30,000 people...but ever since visa's headquarters popped up here more and more people are hearing about us.

Thanks for the geography lesson!

I just bought 10 acres in Hemet, Ca. Bet you never heard of it, unless you saw Spy Games.

The valves work with the stock head, but they have to be machined for them of course. They will give you a few extra ponies, depending on your other mods like extra boost and exhaust.

It's hard to give an exact cost because prices vary on machine work and pulling the motor quite a bit from place to place.

I have really no clue when it comes to internals. What would I have to buy to run a 6# lower and 2# upper. I know some are running this on stock internals but I think theyy're crazy Could I just buy the rods and pistons, or would I have to get something else? Please educate me on this subject

Minimum that I would upgrade is rods and pistons. Some say pistons are fine just do the rods, but I would replace them both...just my opinion. It's one of those things.....since I have the motor apart I might as well do this, that, etc.

I ran a 2# upper and 6# lower in my 99 for quite a while. I ran a 2# upper and 5# lower for most of the season.

I didn't want to take the chance w/ my 01 so I decided to upgrade the internals. I personally would not race with anymore than a 5# lower w/ stock internals.

The site says the parts are all in stock. If they're in stock, why can't someone get some pics?

Ok know please tell what the heck does a picture matter , a manely rod looks like a manley rod, pistons are pistons. I think people are a little busy with business to go take a picture of something that will never be seen .... what does it really matter
