Thanks Ryan.....I have heard that if you take too much out you can throw off the timing of the engine....is this something I should watch out for....I am thinking of in-larging the exhaust and intake ports....Right now the intake port is 2 smaller ports separated by a thin wall and the exhaust is not even as large as the exhaust in the case opening....I am also thinking of balancing and polishing the crank and piston and con rod....I would assume a dremel is the best tool to use for these mods?? What sort of attachments are the best to use??....I know this seems like alot to do on a stock .26, but I figure if I screw it up I won't try it on my Nova...
