RE: 4 baja... worth it?
If that's Oz dollars then that's an average price. As for worth it... very subjective. I prefer high revving short stroke engines that don't destroy my drivetrain, so this wouldn't be my first choice, but if low end power is what you want (wheely city and drivetrain reinforcement), then go for it. You will probably need the strengthened diff, diff cups, and dogbones, steel spur gear and pinion gear bolt mod, but you don't need to buy all these first, run the engine, and just replace what gets broken, maybe some of it won't be necessary after all.

Why do you want so much more acceleration and speed, you already melted the spur gear once. Is it really not fast enough for you? If not, then buy the Robinson 18/55 steel gear set, and the headkit you posted, and I think you'll be more than happy. You might even want to try the gears first, cos they make a big difference. If you havea torquey pipe, you may be satisfied with the performance gain just from the gears. You can always look at the headkit again in the future when you get used to the gears. Those gears and the 30.5cc mill will seriously test your drivetraint hough. You have been warned.

If you want speed you need to run a 36mm top end with a stock stroke. When you increase the stroke you loose RPM and top speed. But with a stroker you do gain more torque.
