CT Racing Cam and Piston Kit Info
#1
I just got this in my email. It was from Allen at CT Racing.
Currently we are running about 57 HP out of the raqptor kit, using a 11/1 piston, cam, ported head and our pipe kit.

Dear sir,
How is the cam kit coming along with the Raptor? Are you going to have it set up with another piston and if so, we'll we still be able to use pump fuel? Any cost or horsepower figures would be appreciated. I've still held off on the exhaust waiting to see what the final results turn out to be.
Thanks,
Scott

Is the kit out yet? If so, what are they going to sell for? What type of cam?
Sounds like a big gain for a compression change. I think their figures are on the high side.
Blue Raptor: TCS Shocks, LoneStar A-Arms +3, DuraBlue axle +5, Fastline Brake Lines, Big Gun Pipe, GYTR Silencer, No-airlid, DG Bumper, Renthal Bar, 41t rear, 12t front, sparks ign. advance, front grooved car tires(19x6x10), Rear turf tamers(18x9.5x8), Reinforced wheels,
00 KX 125 ( A real race machine)

Thanks for the update, Scott. The additional 7hp gain sounds about right. 57 horsepower is a lotta HP!!!!. Imagine what the torque curve looks like, probably equally impressive.
Also, (just MY opinion) Allen is such an arrogant A$$$ole that I would'nt buy anything from CT racing if it was on sale for a $1....and that impression is from speaking with him 4 times and E-mailing him 3.

The HP sounds about right to me with all the mods, but what seems odd is that there isn't much of a difference between just the pipe and all the other mods. It leads me to believe that there are inaccuracies in the testing of the pipe alone.
I didn't get price or release dates, what you see in the e-mail is all I got.

Nice work Bash. I have to agree with you, something just doesn't seem right. Head porting, cam and high comp piston, with a 7 hp gain? I can imagine the torque has got to be outstanding. They didn't give an answer as to their recommendation for fuel octane. Personally, I think I am going to wait a bit, maybe I'll end up going with Sparks. The guys over there seem to be pretty cool and are investing quite a bit of time with development and testing.
As far as a high comp piston. How much difference can there be from say CT to Wiseco to Powroll to FST? Do they all put their own little "twist" to make them different? Again, Wiseco has recommended with the piston they will be releasing soon (11:1), is to run 92-94 octane. They said that threre is no reason to use race fuel.
Again, good work Bash. Look forward to your next investigative reveiw!
