Dumb questions

[01boneless]

ok guys my quad has a fmf pipe,uni filter,no box lid and wiseco 11:1 piston and now i want a hotcam first question is do i want stage 1 or 2? seconed heres the stupied one lol will it make my quad run any hotter? my mechinic said ill have to rejet is that a bunch of bull like I think it is?
by the way sorry for the dumb questions never realy thought about a cam till today :)

by changing the cam you only affect the duration and lift and timing.. it has nothing at all to do with fuel air ratio, so jetting changes are not requred with a different cam

[CJM]

No jetting needed, you want a stage 2 hotcam. Stage 1 is ok, gives excellent lowend to midrange power but really no topend, but the stage 2 will give all around power least it does on mine.

ok thanks i was just wondering cause i think i have stock jeting and it runs perfect and plug looks great greyish brown. so stage 2 cam right will i hear more ticking?

[CJM]

All hotcams tick, some 400s sound worse than others but they all tick. Its the cam itself and the way it is designed (for lift/duration).

[01boneless]

so will i get more topend without looseing all my lowend or ill hav more of both?

[CJM]

lil of both really. For me I have good all around power with the stage 2 but it is a 416 11:1 and such.

Def the stage 2. No jetting. Mine ran alittle hot but mainly due to the big bore kit. The only prob i noticed was sometimes starting it. If the battery was not fully charged, it wouldnt want to turn over. Compression plus the advanced timing caused that.

will i notice low end power cause i need more of that and just a little more top end lol :D

With the piston you have and stage 2 cam you will be happy period. Stage 2 cam has good all around gains with an 11:1 piston imho.

If u have all those mods and ur still running stock jetting ur lucky the engine isn't burnt up. U for sure need to jet it with a pipe,open air box and all that.
