Well ,I always tought that the piston was also bigger to match compression ratio you had before the bigger bore,but you will get more fuel in the chamber.There also was not a button for a "slight gain".I also think I can say that there is a increase in power ,but you will never feel it on the street.Also if you are using a engine for competition,then every little bit counts so a bigger bore eqauls more cubes.More cubes equal more "power".

since i have rebuilt my engine,i cant tell any more h.p with the bore .060.
but my engine seems to sound more healthy,,,,,,maybe cause the compression ,now is (slight ) more!

I don't think a bored engine will give you much power at all. Now maybe if you got it excited by showing it sexy pictures of girl engines....
