Piston and cam

[DaWarriorGuy29]

I'm thinking about putting a high compression piston and camshaft in my Warrior. I want it to run on pump gas, and I don't race at all, just trails. What setups would you guys recommend?

The first step I usually recommend is a wiseco 11:1 and stage 1 hotcam. If you want to also do springs in the head then web .390.

Them hotcams still have problems with the gear or did they sort that out?

I was thinking about the Stage 2 Hotcam. Is it a good cam? Also would I loose any power in the bottom end or would the 11:1 compression compensate for that?

11:1 would add low end. I still get the stage 1. I think that works perfect with a stock head.

What about Webcams? Do you like them, specifically the .430 cam because I want a top end cam?

Yes that's a great cam. I would only recommend if you are also porting the head to take advantage of the extra lift. You will also need upgraded springs.

If you want a top end cam with ported head the megacycle .450 is the way to go.

Where can I get it ported at or can I do it myself?

Depends on what you do and what your looking too get outta the motor

Well could you maybe give me a price range? I don't want anything crazy rn just a moderate build or maybe a little above that. The main problem is I'm trying to save money rn to buy a car lol

Take it from someone who is presently overdoing it... read them first two posts! When you upgrade one part a little too far the whole shebang gotta get done to support it.

If your bumping up compression seriously consider doing a oil cooler. One you drill and tap the right side case cover amd the other style you use a big bear/DRW oil filter adapter and put an oil cooler on it. Zoom Zoom has a complete kit with a large cooler to fit the Warrior. I'd look into them and pick one.

It will drop the engine and oil temp a lot. My little 6x6" cooler with a cheap fan drops the return oil temp 60°f. I can keep my engine around 180-200° on a really hot day with hard running. That is the base and oil temp.

Yea I was gonna do an oil cooler set up if/when I up the compression. It runs hot enough now while it's stock. Is there another forum or a video somewhere that gives step by step how to do it?
