Re: need help building motor

runner seem a little big, something lite a 355 with your lift would probaly benefit from something like a 200cc head, ive bought aa set of brodix IK200 heads, maybe look at RHS, the have a 200cc head with (i think) a 56 or 58cc chamber, 2.02/1.69 valves, and can be had fairly cheap
