hotcams

[hemi400ex]

upgrading to a 416ex in the next month. Question is stage 1 or stage 2 hotcam with an 11:1 piston? no racing, just trail riding, playing in the mud, and crusin the hills of WV, both are the same price and install is the same to. I'm just looking for power. Any help? Hope to have it done and broke in for Quadfest 2008 in July

Either you will see a power increase, I say stage 1 which has amazing mid range I think stage 2 is a more top but i'm not sure.

Added info. I spend alot of time high in 2nd to mid in 3rd gear when i ride due to hills mud and tight trails if that helps with the choose.

[damon#6]

[REPOMAN]

i love my stage 2. it has more mid and top end power. no more down shifting coming out of a turn. just hit the throttle

[zrpilot]

You can't go wrong with either, my vote is for the Stage 2.

***DELETED:mad: *** right boys i dont think anyone these days has a stolk 400ex there alwas bored out lol 416 is the best

Stage 1 - Mid-top gain.

Stage 2 - Mid range with more top end then stage 1.

Hope that helped.

Maybe i'll see ya at quadfest, we're goin this year.

Trail and mud = stage 1. You'll like the power delivery better then the stg 2 for your type of riding.

[lpmaster]

stage 1.

[slow96hater]

stage 1 also. i never really have to downshift coming out of a turn anyways, i cant keep the front end down in second, and i can pull the wheels sitting down in third. all i got is a 10:1 406, with stage 1 hotcam. its great in tight trails.

[damon#6]

***DELETED**** bud if that's all u got and u think ur bikes got that much power i wonder what my 416 bore kit and stage 2 hot cams and 11:1 compression and port and polish and new clutch how much power my bikes goin to have i wont be able to keep it down in third lol i just got the motor back and waitin on 1 head bolt then i can set it in the frame cant wait!

Thanks JOEX for all your hard work, being a mod on a forum can be a thankless and lonely job sometimes!

Stage 2 for teh win!!11!

[boosted3g]

When i went from my stage 1 to my stage 2 i dont think i lost any power in the low rpms at all. Plus it does make a little more power up top. Id go stage 2.
