sparks drag cam

monkey2588 · 08-09-2012, 07:39 PM

does anyone up here use one just wondering how well it works far as drag racing and is it worth the money

nuckinfuts · 08-09-2012, 08:37 PM

Um sure. Do you have any specs on it or is it just a good deal from someone? What's your current set up?

monkey2588 · 08-09-2012, 11:07 PM

just got a 06 with super low hours was thinking about 14.1 cp with a good port job and fci intake and a guy i know has one in his bike and i was just wondering what you guys on here thought of it. or maybe any suggestions?

There are so many cams on the market that can be utilized for racing. What type of drag racing are you looking to do? 300ft, 1/8th, recreational sand drags at your local dunes, asphalt??

monkey2588 · 08-09-2012, 11:32 PM

really want to be able to ride it but also be able take it to the track and run it had 06 with hr +3 13.5 cp hrc cam and full rossier looking to get close to what i had without going in the bottom since its so low houred.

hc3 or 208 would do just fine if you wanted a top end type cam

nuckinfuts · 08-10-2012, 12:42 AM

Oh there is a lot of potential before you go diggin into the bottom. Keep it around 13-13.5:1. Forget the +3 this go-around and try going with a larger bore instead on the 06.

monkey2588 · 08-10-2012, 10:52 AM

is there anywhere that i cam buy a bigger cylinder without a piston havent had much luck finding big bore with high compression

quad rocket · 08-10-2012, 11:23 AM

ebay ! cylinderworks has a big bore complete setup larger in bore but same compression ratio as stock which is better on ur stock crank.... and ebay its a lot cheaper than buying strait from cylinderworks, got mine for $400 from company it was $600.......

I got a new big bore cylinder on ebay because I didn't want the piston that comes with the CW kits. Came out about the same buying the cylinder and piston I wanted as if I would have bought the kit.

Going back to the Sparks cam, Sparks cams are just a remarket of other cams. I don't remember which cam is considered their drag cam, but if you do a search I am sure you can find it. It may even be a CRF cam.

I believe the Sparks drag cam is either a Megacycle X1 or X2.

does anyone know how the sparks cam compares to the 1st gen hrc cam? i dont't think its that much difference.

Sparks TT/Drag cam is nothing more than a repackaged Megacycle X2.

Got one currently running in a 07'450R.

Web 242 made 1.5 to 2 hp more in my son's 06'450R which is why it's in a different motor now.

In my opinion, there are better cams tha the so called Sparks "TT/Drag" cam for drag racing.

Good all around cam though.
