All that should help. I'm looking at the 11:1 piston kit from Fast by Feracci. They're around $280 or so, depending on who you get them from. A single set of Ducati piston rings is $160, so for a little more you can get the extra boost of high compression pistons for both cylinders. The down side is you have to pull the engine to get to the verticle cylinder. Someone told me if I do this I should also upgrade the studs that hold it all together. FBC also makes/sells those for around $115, I believe. The carbs are going to be more expensive, but the ROI will be good (lots of bang for the buck, as it were). Still haven't decided what I'll do. . .
