Anyone know if there are any differences in the superhead that Takegawa markets? They list the Stage III superhead and also the Superhead +R. I have seen several different kits available and it seems that for whatever reason the Stage III kits are more expensive, even though the +r kits offer roller rockers...?

If I can recall corectly...?

What would be the downfalls of the 136cc kit if a person is not regulated by cc? The 136 kit with the +r head is offered now for $1195, which seems like a really good deal when compared to the 124cc stroker kit with the Stage III head for 1625....

The large over bore SCUT kits will have very little casting material between the cylinder studs and the bore, head gaskets as well. Personally, I'm still on the fence about the SCUT kits longevity...All-tho, the Takegawa products seem to be top notch.

I guess we won't hear about these SCUT kits until a owner chimes in with a overview. Could be you!

I sorta figured that if the BBR 120 kit was pretty reliable then the Takegawa 120 should be also. I feel the same way about the 136cc kit, as it is advertised to need no case modification....
