444 big bore ?
my trusty nc29 track bike which i have owed for 10 years is getting a little tired now.The engine has hrc ram air,hrc cdi, total loss ignition system,kent cams,ported head,the exhaust is a full ethos system and is fitted with a large oversize radiator.When it was first build and dynoed it produced 66bhp.I want to keep the bike as i have spent a small fortune on it. I want to refresh the motor and i am thinking about doing it with a 444cc kit.Any advice regarding going this way would be appreciated....cost,realiability,bhp expected,torque expected,max revs,jetting,etc,etc.Anyboby used this kit?Is it worth it or should i just refresh standard capacity

Personally, I'd pick up a second hand lump, fit that and re-con the old one at my leisure 
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

Your bike sounds in the same sort of tune as mine, if I were you I would get a rehone RVF pistons then get myself some flatsides.
The 444 kids are prone to go pop a lot, unless you can go the whole hog and fit Carrillo rods and the whole shibang but then you are looking at £1000s
