you'd need to jet the carbs plus decent ignition timing equipment.

Dizzy setup isn't needed. But it currently costs £105 for the msd setup

With a decent 4-2-1 manifold, full exhaust, a d15 cam, a drop in K & N air filter the 'free' carb mods, drilled box you should see 110+ even before bike carbs
