howdy, i need to rebuild my 230, (it burns a quart of oil every 200 miles) and i was wondering if it's worth it to spend the extra 80 bucks for a 250 crank since i need to replace the pistons anyway? would it make a noticable difference, i know the stock 230s and 250s have the same horsepower numbers. what i'm looking for is more low end power, but still spin pretty fast (5500)it's got a mild cam (270 duration) dual exhaust and a four barrel. also my cylander head is milled .040" and runs good on 87 octane, do you think i could take .020" more off and still use the same grade of fuel (stock pistons will be .060" over)? i'm kinda scard to go to a 292 because of gas milage.
thanks for any help, matt
