i heard good things about the Stage 2 Hotcam, but you wont have to do any other mods, its just a drop in, so no need for stiffer valve springs, they are around $140 or so with an adjustable cam sprocket

[yeap66]

that was the one i was thinken of but i proubly sound retarded askin but what do ya mean adjustable cam sprocket liek waht does that benafit?
thanks

I am running the hotcams stage 2 and I love it. but for mx you might wanna think about the stage 1 . tha stage 2 is a top end cam and the stage 1 is a bottom end cam. They are both drop in cams

you are way off here. for MX the stage 2 would be what he wants. the stage 1 cam has tons of lowend with a loss on topend. the stage 2 cam is not just a topend cam, it has gains everywhere.

OK

Stage 2 all the way, mine rocks !

edit:
you wont need springs unless your going higher than the stock 9800 rpm rev limiter from what ive heard.

[yeap66]

so u guys thinkthe stage II is the way to go huh? well i was thinken that to but does the sparks or hrc compare just outta curiousity?
thanks

[rodenberg35]

since I am way off here check the web site for hot cams. the stage 2 is mid to top and stage 1 is bottom to mid. just to let you know the stage 2 is not an all around cam. but do what you want

what is the HRC cam most comparable to of the 2 staged cams?

[brif]

For your application, I would use the stage 2 or a 02 crf cam.

[yeap66]

well from lookin at those spec charts on the site or wahtever it defenitly seems the satge I is way better for my applications.
thanks

[WhiteZee]

well, go with the stage 1 cam and let us know how you like it.....it will have way to much low end.

[jeepnrocks]

pretty sure the hrc is most comparable with the hot cams stage 2

I use the second smallest web cam now . doesn't require springs or nothing and makes a BIG difference.
but on the way I have a head with web cams mysto cam. thats their biggest one. check em out at.

Makes you a little skeptical looking at the dyno chart at hotcamsinc.com when they use the same chart for the crf450r and trx450r????
