Will my mini bike have good takeoff?

#1
My mini bike has a Honda GX 160 with the govenor still installed. I am not removing it. I just ordered a 2 stage header, UNI air filter, a Honda GX 140 emulsion tube, and a #90 main jet for the carb. Please dont ask me to remove the govenor. My gearing is a 12 tooth clutch and a 60 tooth rear and my tire size is 4.10/350/5. I clocked it at 30 MPH on a GPS, but that was with the stock engine. Do you think i will get a noticable increase in low end power after i put all of these parts on? Let me know if you are running this setup and how you like it. Thanks

You might loose a little bottom end and no gain in topend. If I was you I would port and lap the 160head and add some 18lbsprings then buy a hf clone romove the govener add billet fw and rod. Put the 160 head and carb on the clone. Sorry about removing the gov but it is what it is.

HEres a question for you Mr.Honda. What will you mostly be riding on. Flatland, dirt roads with some hills, Trails, or is it going to eventually be a drag bike?
