Which cam with a big bore set up

Hey Im getting the CW BB With a Venom 14.25:1 piston I have a HC2 cam in right now and the head is getting ported as well, should I use the HC2 or invest in the HC3 or somthing different? Its an 05[/b]

drag? hc3... Id go with the hc3 anyways

either or would work great, just depends if you want a stronger low to lower mid (stage 2) or stronger upper mid to high (stage 3).

I personally love the stage 3!

the most common seems to be the stg2.... however with the BB.... and porting, if you want the added topend, go to the stg 3.

either way... it will scream.

You cant go wrong with the STG3. I run one in my stock bore and like it better than my other WEB cams..

Ok ill get the stg3 cam, now for a different question should i get the +3 crank with that set up or will i have to upgrade to many parts, like clutch, gears, and so forth or will it be ok to keep running the stocker?

You will be fine without it but if you want a little more midrange and torque, the +3 stroker crank would be a nice addition.

No other parts needed other than mayby some new gaskets for the bottom end, an oil pump circlip, and Id stuff some new OEM Honda main bearings and seals in there while your there.

Your only concern is do you or someone you know have the know how and tools to tear down completely the engine and get it back together properly. If so, then do the +3. You will have the cost of the crank shipped to you (say $280.00 or so), than about $100.00 from Honda on the bearings, seals, and gaskets...

i dont believe the cw cylinder is strong enough to run a stroker crank with, is it? i thought there was several broken cylinders aleady from people running both.

i dont think anyone has actually tested it lmao, they are affraid of it blowing apart lol i think there is a couple guys using it with good results on a 04-05 bike

theres a couple CW cylinders hanging around thats stroked as well, and they've worked fine so far, theres been failures aswell, but i thought they was the yfz's

go with the stage 3, its a great revving cam, its got more personalty then the stage 2, and u wont even notice the loss in bottom end, i know i didnt,

thanks guys for the suggestions. about the cw can, ive been reading and have found that most of the failures have been on yfz's the honda can has done very well on the 05 set up.

please.... post pictures if you have a 04/05 TRX with a cracked cylinder works cylinder.... so far , everyone seems to spread this rumor, but nobody can provide me proof.....

im sure you most likely reffering the cracked YFZ cylinders.... please do not confuse the two... as they are completely different. from my knowledge, not 1 cracked trx cylinder so far... even with the stroker and 14.25:1 piston.... i have sold 5-6 of these packages so far, with no problems.

^^^^^^^^ this is true! wahooooo!

i have a buddy with a yfz with a hr +3 crank and a cw cylinder with no problems with 13:1, also a friend with a +3 crankworks crank with a cw bigbore with 14:1 and it runs fine with out problems he even went from a n-motion cylinder because it was leaking coolant though the oil return stud(right front) and it runs just as good with the cw as it does the n-motion
