Those kits don't have the clearance for a +2mm crank. You'll need to stack cylinder gaskets if you want to run those. Which isn't recommended.

If you want to stick with a stock engine, this will work...

ESP Modified GP290 36mm kit

Or for a few bucks more, you could get a Champ port. This is a beastly kit. I love mine.

ESP Mod/ESP CHAMPIONSHIP PORTED GP290 36mm kit

If you go with the Champ port, don't order it with the crank. The stock engine comes with a +2mm crank, so you don't need it.

Also, I'd recommend this cylinder gasket with either of those ESP kits...

Those are a bit more $$, but would be worth it. It would be better to avoid stacking gaskets.
 
Does that kit give a better top end? I am looking to make my Dunerunner kick ass :D

What kind of HP do the stock engines have vs what this can give? I keep seeing engines that give 4.5 or more HP, but I don't know what we are starting with for comparrison.
 
The Redcats use a HY it is very similar to a CY. Parts between the two are interchangeable. If a part says fits CY it will fit the HY.

IMO the factory HY has about 2.5hp at best.

The power increase is unbelievable after upgrading to a full mod engine.

Those who just add a good head kit also report incredible performance gains.
 
RC Dad, so even though I added wicked power with my Dominator, the full mod will still blow me away? :D

Honestly, my MT is as powerful as I could ever want... I am wanting my Dunerunner to be a 45+ MPH machine now...

Just take out the new Dyson and set it by the computer. :D

As you get more power you can start to run taller gearing. The top end will really increase.
 
I am thinking I will just make her a nice dinner... what sucks is now that I am moved to day shift, she and I can no longer flip flop driving one vehicle, so tonight I have to go buy a POS Ford Ranger- so that is more money too...

Down here we have vehicles that have been on island for a long time- and since this is a one year tour (for most) they get handed down quite a bit at a rediculously inflated price. I am about to overpay out the ass for a 94 ranger... yay... (at least it can haul my toys around in the bed)
 
That is what I was going to mention. You have reduced your final drive ratio with a shorter wheel/tire setup.
