bore is it worth it ?

I'm redoing my 89 22r iv already got a 38mm weber carb looking at buying a new cam from lc engineering and header. was wondering if boring it out would really be worth it, and how big would u go.

plus who is better engnbldr or lc iv always delt with lc but i will admit their expensive but always had good luck but iv read lot of good things bout engnbldr from people on here.

Boring is for when the cylinder walls are scratched or somehow messed up, it really isn't going to give you any more power.

The only time you need to bore a block is like said when the cylinders are out of round.

Then go no more than is needed to get them round again most often decided by what pistons can be had most times .010 or .020 that way you might be able to get another boring out of the block

if you're looking to make power, stroke it. it will take away from your top end, but what you take away from the top end, you make up for in torque in the bottom end
