Right now i have a WBe-serise slip on, K&N filter w/outerwares, Jet kit 155main over these mods what will the likely HP gain be from this cam. I am also installing tiatnium valve springs and retainers at the same time.

Im not TC Carlson so I cant tell you the exact HP youll get from that cam, but I can tell you that youll be quite impressed with the gains.

That cam is set up for Mid to Top end power. You might not see so much gain on bottom end, but Mid to Top range will pull alot harder. Youll be happy.

Think about getting a larger, higher compression piston to make up for bottom end. My mods are relatively mild, but oh man, what a difference from stock!!

Good luck man, let us know what you decide.

I didn't notice a loss of low end with it, but the increase in the mid and top is impressive. Just be careful if you buy one, Hot Cams apparently has some QC & cust. service problems.

I had heard about the QC and Cust probs with hotcams. Hopefully ill be one of the lucky ones who doesnt have to sall them for tech probs. Eventually im gonna do more to the engine
I want to get a 12.1 piston and either go 440 or 465. I gotta save up to do that tho. Thanxs for ur help guys!!

Anyone else have some good feedback on this cam?

will the stage 2 hot cam affect the rocker arms at all. even thought it dosen't say you need them hardened?

They say you don't need one.

It says you dont need new springs or rockers. I bought new springs too because it makes more top end with stronger springs. New rockers are not needed because it is not a hardwelded cam. The only effect it will have on the rocker arms is make em Get On IT!!!! more so you go a lot faster!!!! I got my cam from global moto for 119.95+shippin!!
