Cams?

chrism102602 · 02-03-2012, 09:15 AM

So I found someone local to me that is selling a set of used Web 540/539 cams for fairly cheap. Was thinking about picking them up if they are in good shape. My question is would they be too much cam for a stock bike? I have the DRZ base gasket, FCR carb, and Yosh full exhaust. Was thinking of going with a BBK or even a stroker sometime over the next year, but was wanting to get my suspension done first.
Any thoughts/opinions?
I forgot to add that I have some OSHC's in there right now. If I would replace them with the Webs would there be a big difference?

Im my opinion, though Im not a cam guy, I would say they are going to be way too much for a stock bore/stroke motor. Kfxguy, CFM, cataway, or z455 would know better than I would though. You could always pick them up and save them for when you get a bbk or stroker.

In a 400, without high compression at least, I wouldn't even think about it. Even with high compression, in a 400, you are going to give up a lot of low end. Even in a high compression 434, that's a lot of cam for most peoples idea of a useable bike. If you do pick these up, wait till you go with a big bore or something before putting them in, and even then, I'd hang on to the hot cams and keep them as an option to see what you like better. They will be pretty opposite of each other.
