..the mechanically minded.....performance...

[malJohann]

I've done some research on the internet regarding the engines of the Suzuki FXR 150 and the Suzuki Raider 150. They've got the same engine block, but I suspect a different top, cams and from what's apparent in the specs below, a different carb too. I've highlighted the differences and want to know from the mechanically minded among us whether changing the top, cams and carb could bring about a jump in power of 4 hp? It would make a big difference in performance on my 95 kg bike.
