x2. it always cracks me up when people say oh my motors bored 20 or 30 over so it makes more power than normal. WRONG. unless compression was raised, then there will be no change assuming the motor was in good working condition before.

Mine made LESS N/A cause I went with a lower than stock compression piston cause I knew a Blower would be installed down the road..

With no other changes in our 4.6L, a .02" overbore gives you a 0.01 increase in compression ratio and a two CI (283) increase in size.
