Re: swapping cams over to get more hp ?
It can be done, yes. I'm sure someone more technically minded will be along in a bit to elaborate.
Is it worth it for a couple of extra horses? Probably not. |

Here's the how to http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/fo...d.php?t=154847 Some have swapped curvy cams into a pointy, but I forget which ones & the HP gains are relatively small compared to the above.

Re: swapping cams over to get more hp ?
It's an easy job, cams cost about £150, and that's all you need. Check the clearances but I will lay money they'll be identical to your current set-up. No jetting changes needed unless you have filter/can etc. that you haven't compensated for. What do you get... top end power!

Re: swapping cams over to get more hp ?
Well once cams are done I will be upgrading filter and jets my idea is more air more fuel = more bang haha I alredy have a can on and iridium plugs dont no if the plugs make much difference on that dyno ? Is the green the stock one ?

Re: swapping cams over to get more hp ?
I know that given the money the ideal swap is ......
Pointy inlet to Curvy Inlet then curvy Inlet to Curvy exhaust Now come the idiot questions Seeing as second hand pointy cams are as rare as rocking horse doo-dah what sort of gains would you likely get by having Curvy inlet cams on both the inlet and exhaust ? On a Curvy that is. As the Pointy inlet cam is only 0.6mm (?) higher than the stock Curvy inlet, are most of the HP gains from the Curvy cam swap because of the 2mm increase in the height of the exhaust cam ? Im just thinking of a cheap and easy way of getting a few more HP from the SV and if this works I'll give it a go Cheers guys and gals |
