Heh, I hope it
is awesome when it's done and not awful!
Here's my game plan:
![Arrow :arrow:](./images/smilies/icon_arrow.gif)
59mm big bore piston/cylinder - because machining of crankcase is not required and because engine longevity is more important to me than absolute power.
![Arrow :arrow:](./images/smilies/icon_arrow.gif)
New +4.2mm crankshaft (longer stroke) - because it costs the same as a stock crankshaft and is of equal or better quality compared to stock part. And because I live in a hilly city where torque is king.
![Arrow :arrow:](./images/smilies/icon_arrow.gif)
New cylinder head with bigger valves, port work and titanium valve spring keepers - because
Lostmycage pointed out that my Blur's di_k is smaller than a Buddy's di_k. Just kidding - The price for the better head is reasonable and I wanted the bigger valves anyway and it saves me the time to do the port work myself.

Port-match the cylinder head to the intake and exhaust manifolds.

Replace stock airbox with a UNIFILTER foam air filter - because stock airbox is very restrictive.
![Arrow :arrow:](./images/smilies/icon_arrow.gif)
Rejet the stock carburator - because I don't want to spend the money for a bigger carb unless I have to .
![Arrow :arrow:](./images/smilies/icon_arrow.gif)
Replace the current 11gm variator sliders with 13gm (stock is 12gm) - because hopefully the hopped-up engine will produce more torque so heavier sliders may be beneficial for top-end speed without sacrificing accelleration.

Stick with the stock exhaust system because the factory did it right.
...and the saga continues...
