what kind of riding are you going ot be doing ? for an all around ripper your best bet would be a ported 240 kit with a 3mm or a 4mmm stroker crank (makes it around 245cc),cut head ,lightned flywheel ,advanced timing ,35-38mm keihin pwk carb ,vforce reeds, a good pipe like power pros ,cpi shearer, rdz kN filter .a stock blaster makes around 17 rwhp if you do the above mods and set it up correctly (jetting gearing tires etc..) yo u can be in the upper 50's reliably and hang with pretty much any modern big bore four stroke in a straight line .in a very high state of tune with some more tricks added like huge carb ,drag frame ,override ,ported cases ,110 vp fuel etc.. you can terrify alot of the modifed ported 350 banshees out there ,eat 700 raptors and s#*$ out ltr 450's
and s#*$ out ltr 450's
I believe 240 is about as big as it gets one company made a 265 at one time but I dont think you can get it anymore.
Going by the sleeves they make for other machines, I don't know why they haven't produced something wilder like a 300cc sleeve.
They would have to cut the cylinder wall too thin for that sleeve.
The 265 is a stroker crank with a long rod, probably a stuffer plate under the cylinder and a bored out to the max 240 kit.

the smaller versions rev higher faster and have more usable space ,a correctly setup modifed 244-250cc blaster should have no problem hanging with a 310cc ported 250R and/or any modern piped 450
I noticed this first hand out in the garage!, we haven't even got my brothers Blaster out yet but running them both his revs WAY!!! faster than mine!!, this is exactly what I assumed, less inertia, faster rev!, I know the race cars with smaller engines can hang with the bigger ones!
But I'll bet mine will out accelerate his!?? especially on a hill!!!??
your onto the right idea ..less weight = less wait
