MTC pistons?

I dont know about mtc, but it would be cheaper to buy 1075 pistons and bore a 1015 block, than to buy 1075 pistons and sleeves for a 903 plus machine work.

i may pick up a 1015 block ans sell my 903. then have a the 1015 bumped to a 1075. whats the horsepower on a 1075?

Horsepower would probably depend on your set up but my guess would be somewhere around mid 90"s.

now, with the 1015 block bored out 1075, how much wall/life is left on the sleeves?

Pretty sure there is one more overbore the liners can take.

contact him.....he can do anything you want.....at the time i did mine, he had the whole set-up on ebay....if you check him out on ebay and you dont see the 1075 for the early bikes, give him a call....i have never talked to him, only emailed, but very nice guy to deal with and great communication.....I have dealt with both him and Larry and you cant go wrong either way....I m sure APE is good as i have used a lot of their stuff, but i have never dealt with them directly......just my .02.....

I think it all depends on how you ride and who you ride with, what you want from your bike. My bike was bored and had big cams, but no low end, It felt like you had to stay in it all the time, I switched back to stock had low end lost high end but to me was much more enjoyable, your never going to run off and leave a gsxr, or a busa, no matter what you do, but to each his own.

A 1075 9to1 motor with 2x cams and 29mm smoothies I ran went 11.0s @ 116mph. Bike weighed 500lbs plus rider at 150lbs wet. Do the math for hp. Street bike with 3" over arm. A little more power for 10.5to1. 2x cams = slightly less dur, more lift, good torque an rev to 11k rpm. Run over 10to1 on the street an you will need a oil cooler. Want to beat busas TURBO

he brings up a good point.....i did all sorts of research,wrenching and wallet opening and in the end i decided to sell my bike and get something more modern....did i learn a lot ? yes....did i have fun?...yup....did i spend twice what i got back on it?.....yup.....i am not trying to discourage you, but you might want to think where you want to be down the road....I grinned on my KZ, but the grin is waaaayyy bigger on the GPZ.....food for thought.....

whats a stock gpz run in the quart?
