Message: [QUOTE="swingarm, post: 472918, member: 34020"] OK a 2 stroke engine fires on every revolution so in theory it would be able to make twice as much HP as a four stroke of the same displacement. I know that it really doesn't work out that way because of frictional loses and all that stuff. But what I am trying to get at is the fact that it should be pasable for a cr500 engine with the right porting to make the same or better HP numbers compared to a 600cc sport bike engine. I have a 88 cr500 supermotard that I want to try to get more power out of. I have never done any perf. work on 2strokes other than playing with pipes and reeds so I don't know what kind of HP I can reallistcaly expect to get from this engine and have it still be ridable. Thanks for any input on the subject. [/QUOTE]
