Just thought I'd bump this one up. I'm also interested in the stage 1 setup. I could drop in the hotcam and a 11:1 piston for about $250ish. I'm wondering if that lil bit would give me the edge against a couple of buddies banshee's I'm neck n neck with. Anyone with input?

Hotcams seem to be really good...
They are also new, not regrinds or hardwelds - which means no core charge and you don't get a smaller base circle...
Plus, at least for the Honda's, they are cheaper than the competition. It's about time someone does something other than overcharging for a regrind.

Yes, thats good news Gabe. I personally don't like the re-grind deal....even if the end product is "supposed" to be as good.
mr45auto......you have to include springs too. Have you installed a degree key yet?

No degree key, I've heard mixed reviews and I plan to go with a 686 bore anyhow. Sparks doesnt reccomend it on higher compression motors. I figured on replacing springs. Once again Sparks seems to have the best price on those.

Where can you purchase Hot Cams from? Do they have a web site? I have been looking around for piston/cam/ springs and right now looks like Trinity's cam is who I am going to use, but I have never heard of Hot Cams before.

Bodezafa....a degree key advances engine timing. It simply replaces the stock woodruff key on the crankshaft. Pro's = cheap, small increase in power. Con's = have to remove the sidecase cover and flywheel with a puller. I changed mine when my 1-way starter bearing went out.....since I was already in there.
