One of the things I would strongly suggest is using stainless steel exhaust valves from 3 Tech. They aren't any more money that normal ones but last a lot longer. you also might have to go to normal pistons and rings instead of the special ones used in the XFI. The effect on economy should be negligible but the XFI stuff is almost unobtainable today so it's your best choice if you need an overbore.

Thanks for the 3Tech source, sounds like a great place to buy from, "reusable head bolts" stuff like that, way worth it, along withe Stainless Valves...
