I have a question, what are the benifits in HP and overall performance with changing heads, and cams etc. I geuss what i'm i'm saying is i'm looking to turn my CBR 1K into more of a beast and just want to know what to expect when I twist the throttle with these type mods.

Heres another question for you, i use my bike for all purposes, Track and Road. Waht`s the situation regarding Valves and Valve clearances, whats the best way to make sure there kept in good order. Also if i changed over to racing valves etc can i expect the life expectancy of the engine to go down?
Thanks,

It's impossible to quote horsepower numbers. Even if I knew your current configuration and proposed upgrades, I could only attempt to get close. With that said, you could probably expect about 6-10 horsepower. If this sounds low, it is. That's because, though you're increasing your motors ability to breath (good), you're not pushing more air via an increase in cylinder pressure ie bigger pistons, higher compression, etc.... It's like putting Lance Armstrong's lungs in Rosie ODonnell... great to have but they'll NEVER be used to their potential. Personally, for big power, I'd go piston kit first. Even if you're racing, you could go stock bore, high compression and still stay within the rules.
