Might be best answered by the Victoria blokes but in NSW we can go to 149 without an engineers report.
I can't think what to write here so this will do.

Best to get the word of an engineer that you intend to use, but I have herd only a 10% increase over standard capacity is accepted so 138 + 13.8 = 151.8ci max :shock: , dosn't give you much room to move :( , Trev 8) .

I think Trev is right, 10% is what I was told by the local mechanic.
Still check with an engineer to be sure
