Dont think that Hot cams make a stage 2 cam anymore for the Z but i could be wrong....

I hav them in my Z and hav not had any trouble w/ them & thay are not hard to install @ all if ya hav a shop manual....

 

DON'T DO IT! YOU'LL BLOW YOUR MOTOR. HOT CAMS JUST WANTS PEOPLE TO BLOW MOTORS! THATS WHY THEY SELL THOSE CAMS!LMFAO!!!! YOu'll be fine as long as you install them correctly. Never done it before? Take it to some one who has. Its not a big deal but you cannot afford ANY mistakes.

 

btw, I'd just do the intake cam. The exhaust cam is huge fron the factory. You'll be wasting money. The stock exhaust cam is 242 degrees @ .050 and the web I bought (which was a big grind) is 248 @ .050....not much difference there. The stock cam on intakle i think is 226 degrees at .050 and my web is now 248 at .050.....it made a huge DIFFERENCE. I would not do this set up though unless you have alot done to your engine. hot cams stage 1 will be fine. Or better yet, get another stock exhaust cam, cut the compression release off and install it on the intake side.

 

What degree would get you a chopy idle? SO what cam would give you the most choppy idle?

 

I have the biggest web intake cam and 2nd to biggest exhaust cam. I still don't have a choppy idle unless I idle it down a lil. It them sounds mean as hell. but, it will die it i nail it from idle and it dies easier when lugging around. so I just idle it up a lil around what it would be stock.

Are your Webs by any chance the 540/539 grind? They sound a lot like mine. I also have a pretty bad bog trying to pin it from almost a stand still in second. I hear that that's common with the FCR carbs though. I'm making max power at 8200 rpm and am finding it to be way too revvy for the woods. Why the Webs for you?

 

i have the 540/540 grind. they both the same. I have a keihin 450r carb. no bog. runs its ***** off. i trail mine often, has plenty of bottom end. I run a 22" tall tire and a 12t front sprocket, which equals about a 13.25 tooth front sprocket with stock tires. my compression is about 12.3 to 1. i'm happy with my combo to say the least. I went with the webs because: i bought them for $112 each, they worked well in my 250, everyone i talked to says if you wanna be faster, go with web. i believe thats true....a hot cams bike does not seem to run as well from what i have seen.
