[blue_ex_rider]

I was wondering if anyone is running the curtis sparks x 4 cam in there honda 400ex. I have been looking on the net for info about them and haven't really found out alot about them. i am wondering if I should go witht his sparks cam or the most aggersive web cam they mkae. Any info that anyone could give me would be great help.

It depends on what other mods you have and what you want to do. Ive heard the sparks x-4 is the same as the web cam stage 2. If you want the most agressive web cam you have to get hardened rockers, hd springs, shortened valve guides, and a high compression piston. The big web cam is also pretty much just a top end cam.

I am wanting to drag race only. I have a 440 with a 8mil stroker to make it a 490ex. All I do is drag race with the bike though 200 and 300ft drag races. I have the hd springs shortended guides and all of that. I was just wondering if the biggest web cam or the sparks x 4 would be better for me for just drag racing. i want what cam is best for drag racing to put back in it I had a hotcams stage 2 and i know there is alot better out there than that for drag racing.also my head was all done by duncan as well and my piston I willl be running is 12.5 to 1. So i am set up for any cam out there I just want the best they make for drag racing.

Im sure you know this but a stroker is a low to mid engine, so it would seem like to me you dont want too much duration which is what makes a top end cam. The more duration, the more low end you loose. If it were me, i would probably go with the web 479 grind. You would keep your lowend, and still have some kick at the top. And since your doing 200-300 feet, you will def. want to keep your lowend.

So yourthinkin that would be the best beat for me then. Also do you know what stage cam that would be from web cam. And the web 479 is it a low to mid range cam. What cam are you currently running. Also have you heard anythign about the tc cams.

That would be considered the stage 2 web cam. It is supposed to be an all around cam. At the moment I am running a hotcam stage 2, but i had the big web cam in and just didnt like it because I had to keep the revs up to stay in the powerband. Im not too sure about the tc cams
