Any one have this piston set up with a stage 2 hotcam in a raptor, if so please post any comments.

 

We have one on the way [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] but it'll be 3 or 4 weeks before it's running. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

 

Are you replacing your rod, or have you allready

 

Yes the rod is being replaced and the crank balanced for that piston. That's why it's taking a while. And we're using a megacycle 280X4 cam.

 

I am very happy with my 280X4 cam. My rappy revs up very quick and man does it pull.

 

That's good news. How's the bottom end? I hear you don't loose all that much.

 

I launch about 1/2 throttle in first gear and let her rip. It leaves the line harder then the stage two hot cam.

 

Thanks for the replies, guys. SixSixT that thing should run really GOOD!

 

I get confused, which megacycle is the same as the Web 685?

Dieselhead - I liked the Hotcam Stage 2 with a high compression (~13:1?) JE piston, it rips! Are you having any head work done?

 

End of summer I'm going to switch to the 13.5:1 Ross on my 686. But I'm going to get a good summer out of the 11:1 before switching to the higher compression, and yes I have already switched my rod and had it balenced.
