[HondaMan222]

hey i want something for racing up hills and i want something that i don't wanna run race gas, and for under $600 what would be the best kit, i was thinking powrolls 415 kit.....

thanks

you could just run a 416 kit and install it yourself. you can get the piston (under 10.8:1 compression if you don't want to run race gas), cam, gaskets and boring for under $400 if you install it yourself. just get an owners manual and our pretty much set.

thanks
want about porting, would i have to run 110 octane??

[cals400ex]

the porting would not affect the octane fuel you need to run. you wouldn't need to port it out. you can but it isn't required. i actually didn't port my head and the bike really really opened up from stock. premium fuel at the pump will be fine given you run the 10.8:1 or lower. i run premium on 10.8 and the bike runs good. i haven't rode the bike in the summer yet though.

I'm happy with the 416 I just did......did all the work myself........
HotCams stage 2... $130
JE 11:1 (416) $130
Swain Tech piston coating (optional) $ 40
Cometic Gaskets $40
O-Rings from Honda for timing cover and crank cover $10
Machine shop bore $40

all prices are close as I'm going on memory


This thing rocks go 416 call C&D Racing they'll set you up

our friend builds drag bikes so he said he can put everything together and port it

That can't be healthy!:eek:

[HondaMan222]

well see i forgot to turn off the gas and it sat for 3 weeks so now i run 20-50 oil and it doesn't leak, but ya i see what you guys are saying................

I ride trails and fire roads, will I notice a power gain by just putting in a stage 1 hotcam and staying with the stock piston? or do I need put in a higher comp. piston (416) to feel any power gain.....

[kargaaro]

You will need to put a higher comp. piston in it to see real power gains. If you're riding on fire roads and open trail alot, go with the stage 2. To save on boring you could just put a high comp. 400 standard bore, depending on how well your cylinder looks.
