Default Cams

I am not sure about the hardened rocker thing...I have never put any in with the web cam.

As for what they are. They are the moving part the transfers the lift of the cam lobes to the valve so they go down/open. It pivots - like a tee-ter-tot-er (never really tried to spell that word before!) between the valve and the cam. Ask your dad....jeez do fathers not teach their children about cars anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

like i said, i would get the hotcam or another cam that don't require hardened rockers. however, i don't know how much you want to spend. also, if you decide on a web i would go can call them so you know for sure. it seems like there is some debate here and i am not 100% positive.

those mods should make a noticable difference. you may actually notice alittle loss of low end power if your going to use the stock piston. however, the bike should open up at higher rpms.

hmf seems like good exhaust systems. i think i would get the sparks but i really don't know. if you get a piston, the cam choice will be more difficult. the stage 2 will make more power at high rpms but at low rpms the power would be weaker. the stage 1 is a good all around cam. i say if you go with a 426 or larger, get the stage 2. my buddy runs a stage 1 in his 406 with great success. as a matter of fact, i may have a stage 1 for sale if your interested. i am not positive, but it is a possibility if you want it let me know and i will see if my buddy wants to sell it or not.

i honestly just don't know enough about the hmf. i know more about the sparks. i would bet the hmf would be heavier duty though.

by the way, my buddy doesn't want to sell his stage 1 hotcam so i don't have one for sale. sorry about that.
