i have an 05 raptor 350 and want to put a hotcams cam in it for some extra juice,anyone here have a 350 w. a cam? i heard they are prone to overheat easily!? also its jetted got a pipe ,k&n. . .but what else is there to do to gain hp without losing reliability!?

 

i heard hotcams arent very good. id go with a web cam. you may need a oil cooler for it to keep cool. if you do a search for a warrior oil cooler you'll be able to find the info your looking for.

 

hey counterpunch was the cam a very noticable power increase? oh, didnt notice that is still to come sorry

 

You need a header! That will give you more torque.

Next step up would be to bore\stroke it to 400, bigger valves, port the head, cam, bigger carb.

Duncan has a package for this bike and just did a magazine story a few months back.

 

actually, my dad put a web cam in his old raptor. the difference you notice is mostly in mid and top end power.

 

I have a stage 1 hot cam. What the stage on does is give you more mid-range pull. It will not run any hotter with a cam. And yes there is a diffents in power, you can tell though out the mid-range. Now if you go with the Big Bore kit and lets say a 12.1 pistion and yes it does run hotter. What i did for that was take a fan for a raptor 660 and i monted it on the frame to where it blows on the head. and it works really well. i dont see no need for a oil cooler unless you get it stroked. But there is nothing bad about a stage 1 hot cam for a rappy/warrior. I just wish they made a Stage 2 for it.

 

thanks alot!
