TC88: How big without case work?
Quick question... How large can you go (displacement) with a TC88 (05' Softie) without any case work? Meaning a typical top end build... heads, cylinders and pistons...
(Note: We have a 12 pack riding on the outcome, which I will GLADLY share if I am victorious...

Thanks again for the feedback!! Now I just have to figure out how to "divy" up the beer!!
The bet was... Is 100" possible with a simple bolt-on kit with no case boring." My answer was no... but my buddy INSISTED it was possible. My read was that the kit in question was a 95" kit and even with an overbore could not reach 100". My buddy felt 100" WAS possible with larger cylinders that had the "skirts" turned own to fit the stock case bores... Which I felt was a plan for disaster...
On a side note... To sorta hijack my own thread... Would a 95" kit be "THAT" noticable as far as torque and HP for your average sport tourer? What could one expect to see from a carbed 95" engine?
Thanks again for the feedback thus far!!!

if you do a little head work with the right cams you can make a 95 with over 100/100. My mild build 95 carbed ie andrews 26G's and mild GMR head work is ~96 ft/lbs of torq and 86 hp. mine is a realible touring set up that runs on regular gas and gets good mpg at touring speeds.

Thanks VERY MUCH for all the responses!! I'm am really glad I found this place!
With the reponses here, and data collected from the net, I won the bet and am looking forward to a 12'er of Kokenee to be delivered later on this evening.
The added info on the 95" - 98" top end kits seems to be something I'll need to be adding to my "winter mods" list!! But that, a they say, is another story...
Thanks again!!!
