A single cylinder is not a good canidate for a turbo. A bigger bore will not help you rev out any better either. Duncan probably set you up with about 30-32 degrees of blowdown between the exhaust and transfer so the only way to increase that and give more rev now is to raise the exhaust. Check you jetting real well though you could still be rich and just not revving out do to the fuel mixture. Call LRD and talk to them about jetting, I have always thought they could jet badass, Duncan always seemed to have their head up their ass when it came to jetting. In fact I think Loren Duncans head is permanetly up his own ass because its so big he will never get it out.

Screw those crazy prices charge for bearings. VXB on ebay sells all the bearings needed for the LT for about %10 of OEM or NTN prices and they're as high or higher quality.

be more concerned about the reliability and longevity of your motor ,over how fast you can make it for now anyways ,get trinitys head studs mod for the 87 ,id get boyseen pro reeds for the stock cages (port thoose too) id check for any play with the crank and air leaks when reassembled ,also under your intake reed box on th 87 (its huge) youll see that the base of the jug is only like 1/8 inch wide strip seating area there ,aplly small amount of hi temp headgasket silicone there its very suseptable for sucking air there ,i waded mylt 500r this way ,it warps under hi temps and will cause seizures in 5th gear! your freind at school isnt getting a turbo hes a liar, he read an article about a turbo while he was taking a shit on the pot and now hes an expert on turbo banshees! boostbottles do nothing on a she too.btw, oh yeah and theres so much bull shit on net dont beleive everything you hear ,zillas are torquey and are quick but usually fall to a moded she because they cant rev very high and
tend to fall apart on extreme motor setups

Nuf Said, I'd go with LRD though and not Trinity. Class A fuck ups out there
