    pistons, rods and nova gearbox are on the list, no labour cost in building as im doing that bit myself. im not looking to go faster I just want the enjoyment of building the engine myself that I can then ride with

    Good headwork by Tim Radley is 2300£ ........

    And not only 10HP .....

    My bike, std Wiseco piston + headwork + regrind cams = 30hp at the top between OEM bike and now ( 155/ 183 ) and big torque.

    WIth +2 pistons and Tim headwork , you will get a bit more at the top but a lot of Hp and torque at low and mid.

    the aim of the whole build is to hit 200bhp so don't think I will be far off with your predictions

    155 is a VERY low standard number. Mine was 170 without any engine work, just what you see in my signature. Its not uncommon

    Numbers are numbers on a dyno, gains can see on the same dyno before and after.

    gains between 120 to 150 and in my case 155 to 185 are the same gain :30hp bump.

    the gearbox will be your biggest cost circa 3k for a nova box

    no reason why it should,although you wont get the full benefit of the extended rev range that you can use with all the engine work,saying that,it's no bad thing,saves the risk of bouncing the valves off the pistons.....

    That's good news :) I'd rather keep it that way and hopefully can keep it pretty reliable
