Im thinking about throwing a cam and a piston in my bike before the season starts and im wondering what the best piston and cam is

I dont want to run 100% race gas, 50/50 mix or 93 and 110 i will do

so i was thinking a 13.1 piston , dont know which brand

and im kind of lost on the cam, i heard that there are better brands out there than hotcams, im looking for more overall power

thanks!

CP 13.5/1 piston and 03 crf 450r cam seems to be the hot ticket. With the increased duration and overlap works fine with premium pump gas.

Are you sure about that?

imo:

943/921 Web camshaft and my 14:1 piston:macho

although mixing gas i dont think is best...

either go full race fuel or stick with pump gas, but stay away from mixing fuels...

Rollie, Chad brought up the most important question only you can answer. What will your fuel usage be? I try to get the most value for the least buck spent and read the post as you were wanting to run pump gas (my bad) damn memory not what it once was. If you're looking for the most power and willing to pay the price you would do best to consider Chad's recommendation as he knows the cams applications and performance better than most. I like the thought of keeping costs down and enjoying the quality assurance of oe Honda parts. Honda r&d puts a lot of effort in the best compromise for overall performance. CP pistons are a high quality piece as many of the employees were previously employed by JE.

Thanks go to Chad for all his time in providing all the cam spec's, profiling of lobes and dyno model graphs.
