I'm thinking 96mm slip-ins. Gonna make a ton of heat though, and it's unlikely to run very well with D-jet EFI, even if you fiddle with it. You'll have to calculate the compression ratio and shim the barrels to compensate for the big increase, and open up the cylinder heads to accept the new diameter. You DO NOT want to run over 8.2:1. 93s make for a hundred more CCs and your FI will be fine.
