hey, im not sure about this. my friend has a 04 400ex and he had a 440 big bore kit put in and a stage 1 hot cam in it. the dealer said that a stage 1 cam gives more performance than a stage 2. hot cams dont make a cam for my 2000 beartracker but "web cams" do ( http://www.webcamshafts.com ) and they have stage 1, stage 2 and stage 3 cams. which would give me the most performance? thanks - fanninator

 

depends. where do you want your power? Low rpm, Mid? or high?

 

i do alot of trail riding and muddin and i will race other utilities whenever i am in the racin mood so mid sounds good right?

 

actually i take that back. i dont ride on trails that much, its mostly drag racin and muddin. - fanninator

 

Go with the stage 2, im not sure if your going to need Valve springs too though, you might need to get some.

 

Generally, with a stage 2 cam, ya need to get the springs.
