purchasing my x-mas presents!

ok well i'm not sure if this would be accepted in this fourm but, since this is only going to be an easy reply and it needs a quick response i have a few questions.

I'm getting ready to order some parts for my quad.. And one of them is the Hotcam stage 2. I feel as if i might buy the wrong one or not have power where i want it.

Which one has a harder hit of power like a 450 and which power comes more gradually?? The stage 1 or 2? and how much low end would i sacrafice with a stage 2 and would my tire and gearing setup of stock 14 tooth with 38 tooth sprockets in the rear and 18 inch kenda's in the back make up for the loss?

You'll get more responses in the 400ex section. I have a stage 1 in my quad (mods in my signature) and im pretty satisfied with it. Pretty good difference in bottom and midrange power. With the stage 2 you might feel a little drop in bottom end but you'll have more mid-top with it if thats what you want.

how does the power come on smooth and gradual or like hard hitting?
