First post. Engine setup

[V8Astro]

I?ve been lurking here for a while. Lots of good info and I thought I might post to show what?s going on. I have a 2013 EC300e supermoto. I ride it exclusively on the street. I felt it could use a little more top end since this engine has tons of low and mid power.

I?m adding another base gasket under the jug in an effort to get my piston flush with the exhaust port floor. The bike has 17hrs on it and the piston looks fine so I?m going to reuse it. After that I?m going to check the squish and have my machinist friend make any adjustments to my S3 head. The S3 head made a big difference but I installed it before I spent hours reading this forum.

I have a Scalvini pipe and silencer in order. Should show up in a few weeks. Any other input from the pros?

I never would?ve got this far if not for this forum. Thanks everybody!
