as far as stroker cranks and the different cylinders.
760 is great stock or ported with either 4 or 5 mil hpe kits.
The 62t 701 is best with 4 mil non ported and great with 4 or 5 mil hpe when ported.
The stock 61x will benefit from a 4mil hpe kit for sure. But due to transfer misallignment either a properly ported 61x or a swap to 62t cylinder is where the gains get serious. The 4 mil kit on the 61x will keep transfer timing within 1 degree of stock and exhaust timing will stay within 2 degrees. Blowdown will go down about 1 degree. So the stock 61x cylinder will possibly lose just a touch of peak rpm as in 100 rpm and gain hp from idle to peak rpm noticeably. Youll gain case volume and lift the sleeve upout of intake port and transfercups so stock cases behave ported, youll gain dwell as the piston leaves tdc making better use of combustion, youll pump the cases better due to less dwell at bdc, and youll have added leverage at the crankpin, and you will increase displacement. All adds up to nice gains you will feel everytime you grab throttle. By the way 90% of flow in the reed duct is at the port roof so lifting the sleeve there is goodgood.
