Yeah, you'll gain 10hp on the top, but the midrange will suffer...  The
problem with that kind of "tuning" work is that it only goes for peak
power.  You're probably better off with the current engine.  As to the
530-520 conversion, that'll get you what, 0.01% more power to the rear
wheels with the benefit of increasing chain and sprocket consumption?
Sounds like a waste of $$ to me.  But I've been wrong before.

Just my $0.02,
Dan
