Try without first. If it acts like it's running lean get a programmer.
I did one on my wife's 09 DCT Rancher. I put a Weisco programmer on with the top end, but I honestly think it would have run fine without it.
Didn't make much of a difference at all over the stock 420 cylinder. Not worth doing unless your original 420 cylinder is gone too far to be bored oversize again.
I was curious as to the 520 top end, but you have to either turn down the outside of the bottom of the cylinder (Reduction Boss sells those ready to bolt on) or grind the cases a little to clear the bigger jug.
I've gotten away from 420's and am sticking with the older machines, so never got around to the 520 swap.
