1416cc i think J E is offering a 2 mil upgrade and standard bore bump and lower comps. ie turbo. 60cc's isnt that much but a point or 2 in comp should get another 8-10 both in tq and hp. figure cams and race fuel and you should get a solid 205 or better hp

The go too +3MM over stock. Have you called them for a price?? I had a guy that wanted my stock pistons so he could make me some +3's. Told him to buy one from Kawasaki.
You'll also notice it says "Bore&replate", what the hell does that mean??? If I bore out the cylinders, do I have to have them re.-chromed??
I think I'll burn a hole in the stock ones first with NOS, then I'll get the bigger pistons. Also try Coby Adams, of Adams performance, he's the ZX14 Guru, and the guy that Ricky Gadsen goes to for parts. He's working on a ZX14 kit, bigger pistons, valve springs, and clutch springs.
Note: This is not an advertisement, or endorsement. These are just people I have been in contace with to make a 7-second ZX14.

I got the answer for another forum. If you bore the ZX14 cylinders, you will have to have them replatted, the price should be included in a quote for boring. Not sure how much yet, like I said, gonna burn a hole in a piston first with NOS, then put new ones in. Just doesn't make sense to throw away perfectly good pistons.

The cylinders have to be re plated if you are boring them,I think the company that everyone uses is called Millenium,ask Entropy or Osti33 they will steer you there!

Does it make sense to burn valves or burn up a cylinder head along with burning up the pistons??

Sure, why not. Then I can get bigger valves, have the valve pockets enlarged and port the head a little better
I figure another $10,000 should do it, then it will be solidly in the 7's, for about 3 runs until it blows!!!
Was just joking about burning a piston up. Used to have a pro-street GSXR running a shit load on nitrous through it, like a 100hp shot, and never hurt the motor, but the valve clearance on those old bikes(1986) was way different than the new ones.
I just can't see replacing the pistons yet with only 1000 miles on the bike. I don't have that kind of money to just piss away. I think the bike with stock bore will do low 8's with nitrous, and possible high 7's, without hurting the motor. Ricky and the other guys get free bikes, so they don't care about blowing them up, I care. I happen to like my bike, and plan on keeping it for a long time.
