Wanted to do a little writeup on my new setup.
Brian at WPP Racing did all of my engine work. He put in a 13.1:1 Wiseco piston, Hot Cams Stage 2 Cam, and Ferrea Super Flow intake valves.
Can't really say enough about Brian. Great guy, super great job on my R...and he is fast. He was able to work my quad into his normal work load of jet skis and personal watercraft, and finished the install in 2 days!
Needless to say, I'm extremely satisfied with him, and his professional attitude. Again, super great guy, and thanks again Brian for getting everything finished so quickly.
Onto the goodness....
Piston install: 13.1:1 Wiseco - standard 94mm bore (2005)
Cam install: Hot Cams Stage 2
Valve install: (2) Ferrea Super Flow Intake Valves (standard size)
He had all the gaskets, fluids, shims, and tools right on hand....and his shop has a super great setup...EXTREMELY clean.
I'm very greatful that Brian went ahead and inspected all my valves. He saw that the intake valves were worn/sunk in, and called me right away recommending replacement. If he wouldn't have inspected the valves, I'm afraid that the worn intake valves could have led to big problems on down the road.
Final product is great. The quad sounds great. I can actually hear a difference in the drive train with that big cam and piston in there.
Love the smell of that burning 110 octane Sunoco Purple as well...I'm sure thats doing wonders for my brain cells ...but oh well.
Went out for a ride today.
Did about 2 hours of cruising....nothing more than 1/2 throttle to try and break in the piston rings a bit. Running the Honda GN4 Stuff. Came back and changed the oil....put some GN4 back in again.
It has a great midrange hit. The bottom pulls great, but when the midrange hits, its like it pulls my socks off. Keeps on pulling hard all the way up. Stayed away from the limiter today, but I didn't feel any flat spots...not even on top with th HCS2.
Didn't do any extreme riding, but had fun today. I'm very satisfied with the build. It gave my engine a big gain all the way around. Before the cam and piston, I had an awful time trying to pull a wheelie in 4th gear. I would have to be going up hill, stand up on it, gas it, and yank up on the handle bars...and even then...it would only come up half the time. And fifth gear wheelies....no way.
Today, I was going down hill in 4th gear, stood up, and gave it some gas, and she stood up on command. So it feels like I acquired a good bit of torque from the build. And 5th gear wheelies are no longer a problem either And this is with 14/38 gearing.
Anyways, I'm very satisfied. Next weekend I'm going to try my 13T front sprocket out and see how I like that.
Carb = 175 main, 50 pilot, 2.25 turns out A/F crew
