Pros: depending on what top end you get, you'll get more power.

Cons: depending on what top end you get, you'll get less power.

It all depends on the engine you have right now. It also depends on how comfy you are about swapping top ends and if it's worth doing it on an engine that is fine.

get a obr top end kit for the classic cy 2 bolt engines and you will get a noticeable power increase. assuming your running the stock mt engine currently

stock hy with modified topend is a tidy bang for the buck. from stock assuming around +/-3hp can result around 40-50% increase, assuming fuel mix is good, good carb/pipe combo and tuned within reason

the cons are---> you will run it harder and everything that goes with that situation..and life span about 1/3 less than stock maybe even shorter
